10、f accent.In this sense,its pointless to point out that someone“has an accent”.We all do!Every person speaks a dialect(方言),too.In the field of language study,a dialect is a version of a languagethat is characterized by its variations of structure,phrases and words.For instance,”You got eat or not?“(m
