The "American Accent" is more properly the "American Dialect". An accent is the intonation given by foreign speakers of a language. A French accent refers to English spoken by a native French speaker. An American accent would be the pronunciation of another language spoken by an American person (An example in French: bone- joor rather than
bɔ̃.ʒuʁ)
.A dialect is the internal difference of a language spoken by users of the language which exhibit local or regional changes (e.g. A Cockney dialect rather than a Cockney accent). Any dialect evolves through generations of people living together and not mingling much with people from other regions.
There is no national American "accent" or "dialect". The distinctiveness of the southern drawl, Texan, midwestern or Boston manner of speaking are all regional dialects. Interestingly some American dialects have evolved from old forms of English such as the Elizabethan pronunciations and vocabulary still used in the English spoken in the Ozarks.
