The primary aim of this study was to determine whether native speakers of German living in either Canada or the Netherlands are perceived to have a foreign accent in their native German speech. German monolingual listeners (n = 19) assessed global foreign accent of 34 L I German speakers in Anglophone Canada, 23 L1 German speakers in the Dutch Netherlands, and five German monolingual controls in German . The experimental subjects had moved to either Canada or the Netherlands at an average age of 27 years and had resided in their country of choice for all average of 37 years. The results revealed that the German listeners were more likely to perceive a global foreign accent in the German speech of the consecutive bilinguals in Anglophone Canada and the Dutch Netherlands than in the speech of the control group and that nine immigrants to Canada and five immigrants to the Netherlands were clearly perceived to be non-native speakers of German. Further analysis revealed that quality and quantity of contact with the native German language had a more significant effect oil predicting global,foreign accent in native speech than age of arrival or length of residence. Two types of contact were differentiated: (i) C-M represented communicative settings in which little code-mixing between the L1 and L2 was expected to occur and (ii) C+M represented communicative settings in which code-mixing was expected to be more likely The variable C-M hail a significant impact oil predicting foreign accent in native speech, whereas the variable C+M did not. The results suggest that contact with the L1 through communicative settings in which code-mixing is inhibited is especially conducive to maintaining the stability of native language pronunciation in consecutive bilinguals living in a migrant context.
