Transatlantic Accent
The Transatlantic Accent is a distinctive way of speaking that blends elements of American and British English. It was popular among the American upper class and in Hollywood films during the early to mid-20th century. This accent is characterized by precise enunciation and a lack of regional dialect, making it sound somewhat formal and sophisticated.
Often associated with figures like Katharine Hepburn and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Transatlantic Accent was taught in acting schools and used in theater and film. Although it has largely fallen out of favor, it remains a notable part of American cultural history, reflecting social status and education during its peak.
