It focuses on the dynamics of perception of pronunciation standards at the macro and micro levels. In addition, the paper analyses a number of phonological and prosodic parameters influenced by the indigenous language of the region. Further, the paper describes the sociolinguistic context of the emergence of the Breton accent as well as the evolution of linguistic insecurity associated with it. The paper substantiates the idea that regional forms of speech are not any longer perceived as wrong or unacceptable in the official sphere. In the case of regional and national variants of the French language, we can clearly see changes of psychological nature as their speakers do not readily interpret their phonetic, lexical, and syntactic peculiarities as a deviation from the standard. The article points out that this change in attitude to accent is associated with changes in the language policy, aimed at supporting and preserving minority languages and cultures. Today, many Bretons see their accent not just as articulatory habits but as a way of expressing their cultural and linguistic identity in certain communicative situations. The author concludes that regional accent appears in speech with the changing communicative context – transfer from the public to the private, family sphere. The article also deals with the problem of pronunciation standard, in particular, with the introduction of the concept of regional standard, which explains why the regional accent of Brittany is perceived as one of the variants of the regional pronunciation standard.KeywordsBrittany, Breton accent, dynamics of pronunciation standard, linguistic insecurity, regional French accentsReferences
