Resumo: Previous studies have shown that learners’ individual differences (e.g., motivation, age) can impact second language learners’ pronunciation. This study focused on one individual difference that has received relatively little attention, namely personality, and sought to determine to what extent personality accounts for learners’ L2 accent during quasispontaneous and unplanned speech. Fifty-one English-speaking learners of Spanish performed a speaking task that was scored for degree of L2 accentedness. Results revealed that personality explained a considerable portion of the variance, and that extraversion and neuroticism were significant predictors of L2 accent.

Este estudo centrou-se em uma diferença individual que recebeu relativamente pouca atenção, ou seja, a personalidade, e procurou determinar até que ponto a personalidade explica o sotaque na L2 dos aprendentes durante a fala quasi-oral e não planejada. Cinquenta e um estudantes de língua inglesa de espanhol realizaram uma tarefa de fala que foi pontuada pelo grau de acentuação na língua estrangeira. Os resultados revelaram que a personalidade explicou uma parte considerável da variância, e essa extraversão e neuroticismo foram preditores significativos do sotaque em língua estrangeira.UFSC2017-09-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n3p22710.5007/2175-8026.2017v70n3p227Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 70 No. 3 (2017); 227-244Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 70 n. 3 (2017); 227-2442175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n3p227/35020Copyright (c) 2017 Germán Zárate-Sándezinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessZárate-Sández, Germán2017-10-02T13:22:58Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/50364Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2017-10-02T13:22:58Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
