The United States of America is becoming more and more diverse. There are many ethnicities and as such people across the country speak with many different dialects. It is well-documented that there are linguistic stereotypes and biases associated with the perception of people who use speech that contains certain dialects (Franklin & Hixon, 1999, Reinhard & Messner, 2009). Dialectal speech is not a disorder and Speech-Language Pathologists are trained to recognize these differences but not to correct them. Dialect reflects culture but does not define intelligence. There is a wealth of research on AAVE (Baugh, 1983, Pearson, 2013, Robinson, 2011, Carter, 2010). Many of the researchers compare AAVE to Standard American English (SAE). Very few studies, however, compare AAVE to other dialects. Due to the biases and often negative perception of dialects other than SAE, this focus of this study was to explore perceived likability and intelligence of various dialects. Thirty adults listened to three different voice samples: AAVE, SAE and Arabic accented speech. They then completed a survey rating each speaker’s likeability and intelligence. I hypothesize that (1) The speaker of AAVE will be perceived as less intelligent and less likeable than other dialectal speakers, (2) The speakers of SAE will be perceived as more likable and more intelligent than the dialectal speakers, and (3) The speaker of accented speech will be perceived as more intelligent and more likeable than AAV, but less intelligent and likeable than speakers of SAE. These findings may be useful reducing societal linguistic stereotypes and unknown biases.
