Ten syndrom dręczy wszystkich Polaków w obcych krajach i daliby dużo aby się
wyleczyć.
Ale jak poniższa historia pokazuje, rodowitym Amerykanom też to się zdarza:
Foreign Accent Syndrome Gives Sufferers an International Sound
People With the Condition Speak With Accents From Foreign Countries They Have
Never Visited. CindyLou Romberg sounds like she could be from any number of
exotic countries around the world. She sometimes rolls her "R"s like a
Russian, chops syllables like a German or turns an unsuspecting "W" into a
"V," like a Swede.
But Romberg is not Russian, German or Swedish. In fact, she has never even
left her tiny hometown of Port Angeles, Wash.
Romberg suffers from what doctors call Foreign Accent Syndrome, or FAS, an
extremely rare brain disorder that, as the name implies, causes its sufferers
to speak as if they are from a foreign country.
