Bibliographies on accent perception and adptation / L2 speech research

Below are some interesting papers in this area. The bibliography is still in development and we will be updating more papers here soon. If you know some papers in this area that I miss, please fill in the form below and tell me. Thanks. Please feel free to take a look at my research related to accent perception and adaptation as well.
