Abstract

In a language identification task, native Belgian French and native Swiss French speakers identified French from France as their own variety. However, Canadian French was not subject to this bias. Canadian and French listeners didn't claim a different variety as their own.

Keywords: Canadian French; French; biased perception; dialect identification.
