In the field of sociolinguistics, much research has been devoted to exploring first language acquisition and how children manage to acquire all the complexities of a language. This research mainly focuses on the order of acquisition of different structural properties of a language and the process by which they acquire these properties. The study of children's acquisition of various dialects is a less frequently explored area. Generally, the dialect that children acquire reflects the family and environment in which they grow up. However, if they encounter different dialects or are placed in a new environment with a different dialect, the outcome is less predictable. For this reason, in the article How did you get that accent? : By acquiring a second dialect of the same language, Tagliamonte and Molfenter examine the dialects of children who were transplanted to a new country with a different English dialect. They examine how different factors, such as age, family and school, affect accent and whether children ultimately manage to acquire the local dialect. Specifically, they examine the speeches of three children, over a six-year period, who left Canada for Britain. All children are under the age of five at the time of the move and the study focuses on the T-voice in British English and the variation of the glottal stop with the voiceless alveolar voice-stop. In North American English, the voiceless alveolar stop becomes voiceless when it follows a vowel or /r/ and precedes an unstressed syllable. When switching from Canadian English to British English, children had to “change these sound games with deaf games” (Trudgill 1986: 22). The study focused on the progression and success of the ...... middle of paper ......a collected is not the same for each child. As a result, the data may not accurately reflect their capabilities. They also did not take into account the effect of the interviewer on the children. This also has the ability to distort children's data and skills. Overall, Tagliomonte and Molfenter's research constitutes an important case study in the process of second dialect acquisition. The study highlights important factors, such as age and community interaction, that influence the success of second dialect acquisition and how this acquisition occurs. Furthermore, it proves that acquiring a second dialect is a constant process over a long period of time and that native-like proficiency may never be fully achieved. However, in order to better understand the process of second dialect acquisition, more case studies and research are needed..
