In linguistics , the term accommodation refers to the way people adjust their speech and communication style in face-to-face and other types of communication. It is also called linguistic accommodation, speech accommodation, and communication accommodation. The speakers would adjust their accent, diction, or other aspects of language according to the speech style of the other participant.
