The present study examines how Dutch native language listeners (L1) with English as their second language (L2) comprehend English sentences produced in Dutch-accented English, Southern-American English, Chinese-accented English, and unmarked American English. These sentences were presented in noisy and in quiet conditions, as previous studies suggest that noisy environments can exacerbate one’s difficulty in comprehending unfamiliar accents. So far, 25 Dutch-English bilingual listeners have completed the experiment, and findings will be available shortly and presented.
