Ethical and social risks of harm from Language Models (2021, background): “Language has long been a vehicle for perpetuating injustices against marginalised populations and conferring power to oppressive institutions (Craft et al., 2020; Lippi, 1997).”
Attitudes towards foreign accents among adult multilingual language users (2015, background): “According to Lippi-Green (1997), evaluations of language competence may be more than a function of shared negative attitudes towards the ethnicity of the accented speaker rather than actual intelligibility.”
Impact of Rater Characteristics and Prosodic Features of Speaker Accentedness on Ratings of International Teaching Assistants' Oral Performance (2012, background): “Considering the high degrees of subjectivity that plagues speech evaluation by listeners in most (if not all) contexts (Lippi-Green, 1997), instrument-assisted prosodic analysis can serve as a more objective kind of benchmarking technique.”

English with an accent: Language, ideology, and discrimination in the United States (2014, background): “In extreme cases, we feel completely justified in rejecting the communicative burden and the person in front of us (Lippi-Green, 2012, pp. 72-73).”
