British
English or American English:
Until a few years ago the
best accent was considered to be the Queen´s or King´s English. Today we
call it "Standard English or Received Pronunciation" and the
Oxford Dictionary defines as The Standard form of British English
pronunciation, based on educated speech in southern England. This is the kind
of pronuniation that you may find in written phonetic symbols after words in
dictionaries and English textbooks, and for years considered the proper or
acceptable way to speak.
This accent traditionally has belonged to the people with good education, moreover, it is considered the accent of the upper classes.
Since 1960, there has been a great change in the world acceptance of accents, since the globalization has been present in all the societies around the world. Different accents
in the world of business have been ineracting avery moment, linking cultures and peoples. Modern Media,Music, Culture and education, also have accepted new terms and slang that enrich the English language.As a result, newly accents spread rapidly in and out of the English speaking countries. Critics urge recently the need to globalize the English accents becoming a common way to pronounce the English language. I personaly remark that as long as the accent can be understood around the world, the English language goal of communication will be reached.
