Abstract This research is concerned with how different varieties of British English are processed by French learners of English as a foreign language. Our goal is to characterize the impact that phonetic and phonological differences between varieties of British English may have on spoken language comprehension in these learners. We have chosen to work on Geordie accent (Newcastle) which presents interesting homophones with Standard English.
Keywords English, Geordie accent, perception, accent varities, identification
