CONTENTS
A. Backround
Almost all languages, including English, have a dialec, according to Richards,
Platt, and Weber (in Sadtono, 1987), what he called dialect is a different language
variants in speech, vocabulary or expressions, and grammar. Will only BE and AE, In
certain respects, the differences are also related to spelling. Until about the seventeenth
century (Sadtono, 1987), that is, in the era of Queen Elisabeth I, with the settlement of
the British people in, the American continent which is still in its 'early stage, people
still see one in English, because at that time AE has not shown its identity as a separate
variant. After that, the development of the English language in American began to look
different from those found in his home country. In isolated geographic areas, in places
where English is an international language that almost every country uses it both as a
primary language and as a second language.
The existence of this international language (English) has facilitated the process
of international communication. Each country has differences in the use of English,
especially in the pronunciation of each word, the factors that influence these differences
include: first, English is not the first language in that country; second, still influenced
by the main language and other influences. English can be divided into various types.
Two of the most dominantly used are American English and British English. Based on
the explanation above, the writer tries to analyze the problem by using the interview
method, so that by using the interview method the writer can find out the differences in
the use of English in several countries, namely Australia, Sweden, Holland, and Russia.

DISCUSION
A. Definition of Accent
An accent is a stress or emphasis on a particular part of something, usually a
word. Pronounce the word "doofus" with the accent on the first syllable: DOO-fuss.
Accent comes from the Latin accentus, which means "the intonation of singing." We
use accent for different kinds of emphasis in speech. In some foreign languages, the
mark above a letter is an accent that signals how to pronounce it. If you accent
something, like the "t" on the end of your name, you highlight it. In music, an
emphasized note is accented. A regional accent is the particular way that people from
that place speak. Meanwhile, Oxford Dictionaries defines accent as 'A distinctive way
of pronouncing a language, especially one associated with a particular country, area, or
social class.
Everyone has an accent. Some people may argue this, but hear me out. Simply
put, an accent is the particular way your voice sounds when you speak. It's not sounding
“foreign” or different to the “norm” (whatever that is), but rather the unique way you
sound. Certain sounds you use may also be used by others from your country, city, or
social group. People from that area or group may use these sounds so consistently, that
it becomes a well-known feature of their speech (for an example of such features, take
a look at Erik Singer’s video below). When a particular way of speaking becomes
associated with a particular area or group of people, we start calling it an accent: e.g an
“Irish” accent, a “New York” accent, or a “posh” accent.
B. English Accents
Because English is very popular in many countries, then group new accents such
as British accents, American accents, and other. English itself is a language that
originally like Indonesia. English, then now used in many other countries and used as
international communication language around the world (Hornby, 2005). Great Britain
has an accent called a British accent which generally has a that is distinctive and unique,
due to its uniqueness and uniqueness, it is difficult to pronounce the British accent
properly and correctly. Even so, because of the uniqueness the British accent is more
popular to hear than the accent others (Morales, Scott, & Yorkston, 2012). Besides that,
there are many people who want to learn the accent, one of which is a student majoring
in language UK and students wishing to study in the UK.
One way that can be used to find out right or wrong pronunciation of spoken
British accent words is by identifying the sound with the Speech Recognition system.
There is also a need for a method for extracting sound characteristics and a
classification method that has high accuracy due to the pronunciation of the British
accent language which tends to be difficult and not louder than other commonly used
accents. So therefore, a British accent English pronunciation learning system is needed.
work - storm - search - curve - earth bird - bored - forth - girl - urban mother -
worker - ear - bear - tear ca~ - star - teacher - professor – father
So it is not surprising that BE speakers will pronounce the following pairs of words in
the same way indistinguishable.
law – lore
paw - pore – pour
saw - sore -soar
maw – more
bawd - board – bored
Meanwhile in the US accent, the sound is very clearly pronounce. The example are:
glass answer
class example
grass path
fast can't
ask dance
pass half
In the US accent it is pronounced with a flat a sound like contained in the word man.
CHAPTER III
CONCLUSION
Based on the things that have been described above by the author, it can be concluded
that Because English is very popular in many countries, then group new accents such as British
accents, American accents, and other and English is actually the same. what makes the
difference is the accent or dialect they use in their daily conversation. The existence of this
international language (English) has facilitated the process of international communication.
Each country has differences in the use of English, especially in the pronunciation of each
word, the factors that influence these differences include: first, English is not the first language
in that country; second, still influenced by the main language and other influences
British English comes from the writings of Samuel Johnson in his book The Dictionary
of the English Language, published in 1755. While American English was first introduced by
Noah Webster through his book An American Dictionary of the English Language (American
Dictionary of the English Language). in 1828. Actually the written difference between the two
is not too obvious. But if you hear from the accent and pronunciation, you can find quite a big
difference. The emphasis on pronunciation in British English sounds heavier and more formal.
