A way of speaking that identifies a person
with a particular country, region, language,
social class, linguistic style, or some
mixture of these. People often describe only
those who belong to groups other than their
own as having accents and use them as a means
of establishing a broader identity; for
example, an Irish brogue, a Southern accent.
