Accent Osmosis


a phenomenon characterized by a subject involuntarily/subconsciously adopting a foreign accent by mere exposure to a speaker. symptoms persist during exposure but quickly fade after exposure is terminated. conscious over-ride is possible, but can also cause the accent to become hyperaccessible in the subject, leading to a mixture of the subject’s native accent and the foreign one. further research needs to be conducted in order to isolate a causal factor for the phenomenon.
oh yeah, that’s called accent osmosis.
