but o shared by the Invaders
That this is nonsense appears from the
fact that Americans taken Ia childhood
to England speak with an English ac-
cent. There can be no question as to
the marked divergence OF English and
American speech. particularly In the
matter OF intonation- American speech
Is much more monotonous and less
spontaneous the regular fall OF the
voice at the close OF sentences being
perhaps bookish rather than conyersa-
tionai. Thus American speech. among
the cultivated, is apt to be simple. even
and logical. like a page OF print while
English speech Is much more varied
and expressive In Its csdences-
