Abstract

The general aim of the paper is to show Hungarian secondary school English language learners' stereotypical images of speakers of five different non-native English accent varieties. The participants of the study (N=402) completed a trait attribution task, i.e. they had to select characteristic features they associated with the speaker from a given set of features. The study shows what stereotypical images Hungarian secondary school students assign to a male speaker who speaks with different English accent varieties with reference to the speaker's age, height, hair length and color, marital status, preferences in food or drinks, and the clothes he is wearing. Overall, the results display that Hungarian secondary school students associate different stereotypes with the different English accent variety speakers. Furthermore, in some cases, there are also differences in the stereotypes associated with the speakers based on two variables, namely the participants' sex and age.
