Holy shit. Mackenzie Dern’s accent.... I finally get it. There’s a legitimate disorder called “foreign accent syndrome” and I’ve NEVER heard of that until now, and it is just as hilarious as it sounds.
“Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a “foreign” accent. FAS is most often caused by damage to the brain caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Other causes have also been reported including multiple sclerosis and conversion disorder and in some cases no clear cause has been identified.
Speech may be altered in terms of timing, intonation, and tongue placement so that is perceived as sounding foreign. Speech remains highly intelligible and does not necessarily sound disordered.”
