Abstract

Foreign Accent syndrome refers to segmental and suprasegmental changes of speech characteristics following brain lesion which is perceived by listeners as a foreign accent. Change in dialect after a stroke, however, have rarely been reported. We describe a patient who showed prominent change of accent from one to another Korean dialect and discuss about the alteration of prosodic patterns and the changes in segmental level of speech.
