| Summary: | "What impact do accents have on our lives as we interact with one another? Are accents more than simple sets of phonetic features that allow us to differentiate from one dialect, variety or style, to the other? What power relationships are at work when we speak with what those around us perceive as an "accent"?

In this edition, we present a variety of languages and go beyond the traditional structural description of accents.
