Gluszek and Dovido (2010) state, “A nonnative accent is one of the most salient characteristics of people from other countries who come to live, work, or study in a host country that identifies, and potentially stigmatizes, them as not being native born” (p.217).

Furthermore, Ifemelu notices that it is often for…

Orlando is a story that spans across many ages. We begin in the Elizabethan era and are brought age through age into the 20th century. Even more, the plot is based on a book written by Virgina Woolfe in 1928, yet all the while the theatrical experience of Orlando was constructed barely two decades ago. It plays with the past while remaining aware of the present. Sarah Ruhl's stage adaptation of Orlando is a postmodern exercise in deconstruction. Ruhl removes the veil of time away from Virgina…

Conversely, if your portrait has a very dark background, a darker outer mat might be possible, with a light inner accent…

vendor to give you only the bread because they didn't understand you being a vegetarian. Your accent is thick, and I'm deeply sorry that I, your own blood, made you feel like an outsider.
