Abstract
Abstract
The study explores Serbian English-major students’ attitudes toward English pro nunciation as a marker of linguistic identity, through the investigation of different dimensions such as identity, speaker legitimacy, sense of belonging and situational variability. A total of 64 undergraduate students expressed their views via a 25-item Likert-scale addressing particular dimensions. The results show that students generally perceive pronunciation development as a communicative skill rather than a threat to their own Serbian identity. Correlation analyses revealed relationships between accent awareness and identity-related perceptions, while factors such as pronunciation model preference, learning experience and social media exposure did not prove statistically significant factors for the majority of proposed constructs. Gender and year of study appeared as the only statistically significant predictors, but merely for a limited number of subscales, i.e. accent stance and self-perception. The study yields important pedagogical implica tions related to the relationship between pronunciation and presentation of concepts of cultural identity and legitimacy in L2.
