Accentism is commonplace, but our understanding of why people discriminate against certain accents is limited. This project will develop a Global Database for Accented English, an archive of piloted speech samples that dramatically reduces interpretational difficulties plaguing existing research. This resource enables the most robust test to date of what causes accent bias in schools and workplaces. Experiments will also examine the conditions under which accent bias is most pronounced, and why its effects are particularly strong for women. Understanding mechanisms underpinning accent bias is a precondition for reducing a problem that threatens Australia’s status as a successful and economically vital multicultural society.

口音主义是司空见惯的，但是我们对为什么人们歧视某些口音的理解是有限的。该项目将开发一个针对重音英语的全球数据库，这是一个试验的语音样本档案，可大大减少困扰现有研究的解释困难。该资源使最强大的测试能够迄今为止导致学校和工作场所的口音偏见的原因。实验还将检查口音偏见最为明显的条件，以及为什么其影响对女性特别强。理解基于重音偏见的机制是减少威胁澳大利亚作为一个成功且经济上至关重要的多元文化社会地位的问题的前提。
