Loss of regional accent after damage to the speech production network
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 Lesion-symptom mapping studies reveal that selective damage to one or more components of the speech production network can be associated with foreign accent syndrome, changes in regional accent (e.g., from Parisian accent to Alsatian accent), stronger ...
