Regional, nonstandard accents and dialects and the decline of
My Uni essay for my Sociolinguistics module is about this.
Does anyone here think there has been a decline of regional accents/dialects due to our exposure to TV/radio/films/music etc. Do you speak a more standardized form of English than your parents? Is your accent as distictive as theirs?
Any comments, insults etc. will be much appreciated
