The formation and change of an individual's foreign accent is governed by many interrelated factors. The two most important linguistic factors are language transfer (interference) and universal factors, similar to what children do when they acquire their first language. Nonlinguistic factors include amount of exposure to the second language, first and second language use, age of learning, and sociocultural and psychological factors, such as attitudes and identity. In turn, a listener's perception of a foreign accent is influenced by all of these factors.
