Table 1.A.2 Table 1.A.2 shows non native accents gains a large amount percentage for all
negative cognitive, and the gap percentage between native and non native accents is quite much. For the first negative cognitive, 91 IE 47+ JE 27+ME 17
participants think non-native accents is not standard accents. Only 9 BE 8+AE1 participants states native accents is not standard. The second cognitive is
‘weird’. The percentage of non-native accents is considered as weird is 91 IE 39+ JE 36+ ME 16, while for native accents is 9 BE 9. Instead of ‘unfamiliar’ the
word weird is used to make it totally the opposite of world familiar. Unfamiliar kind of has not fully negative taste. Unfamiliar means unusual but it does not always means odd.
Meanwhile weird means it is unusual and strange. ‘Sounds not well educated’ is the next cognitive. 96 IE 62+ JE 18+ ME 16 participants think non-native accents
sound not well educated. Only 4 BE 4 participants states native accents sounds not well educated. For the next cognitive ‘sounds not good’ 93 JE 37+ IE 24+ ME

comfortable to be heard’ the percentage of non-native accents is claimed as not comfortable to be heard is 90 IE 35+ JE 35 +ME 20, while for native accents
