Abstract This study explores whether a shift is taking place in terms of how the native speaker construct is viewed in relation to Asian Englishes. It investigates this issue through a speech ratings task. The goal of the current research is not to judge nativeness or ultimate attainment of the participants. Rather, the study investigates whether the construct of native speaker is being redefined as new varieties of English are gaining acceptance as legitimate varieties of English. The study comprises ratings of speech samples from 33 native speakers of English from Asia and 7 native speakers of English from Inner Circle countries. A total of 45 listeners rated each sample for nativeness on a 9-point Likert scale. The study also examined how listeners’ perceptions of where the speaker was from and which the variety they felt the speaker spoke influenced ratings, as well as how the listeners’ own backgrounds influenced ratings.

听起来母语:评价来自亚洲的英语使用者

摘要 本研究探讨了在如何看待与亚洲英语相关的母语结构方面是否正在发生转变。它通过语音评级任务来调查这个问题。当前研究的目标不是判断参与者的本土性或最终成就。相反,该研究调查了母语者的结构是否正在被重新定义,因为新的英语变体被接受为合法的英语变体。该研究包括对来自亚洲的 33 位母语为英语的人和来自内圈国家的 7 位母语为英语的人的语音样本进行评级。共有 45 名听众对每个样本进行了李克特 9 分制评分。
