Abstract
In this chapter, we review the literature on how
foreign-accented speech modulates cognitive processes related to
language comprehension and describe the interactions between native
and non-native speakers. First, we focus on how language
comprehension processes are modulated when native listeners listen
to foreign-accented speakers. Whilst the results about
acoustic-phonetic and syntactic processing are relatively consistent
throughout the literature on the subject, there is currently a
debate on what the effects of foreign-accented speech are on
lexical-semantic processing. Secondly, we analyze the literature on
how foreign listeners process foreign-accented speech, a field of
research that has grown recently. Then, we discuss how native and
non-native speakers align with one another during verbal
interactions. Finally, we examine the cognitive biases that native
listeners show when interacting with non-native speakers that
modulate social cognition processes.
