- Mid-Atlantic_English abstract "Mid-Atlantic English (sometimes called a Transatlantic accent) is a cultivated or acquired version of the English language once found in certain aristocratic elements of American society and taught for use in the American theatre. It is not a typical vernacular of any location, but rather blends American and British without being predominantly either. Mid-Atlantic speech patterns and vocabulary are also used by some Anglophone expatriates, many adopting certain features of the accent of their place of residence.Mid-Atlantic English was popular in Hollywood films from the 1930s to the early 1960s, and continues to be associated with such people as Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Calvin Coolidge, William F. Buckley, Jr., Gore Vidal, George Plimpton, Roscoe Lee Browne, Norman Mailer, Diana Vreeland, Maria Callas, Patrick McGoohan, Cornelius Vanderbilt IV, John Houseman, Angela Cartwright, and Jonathan Harris. The monologuist Ruth Draper's recorded "The Italian Lesson" gives an example of this East Coast American upper-class diction of the 1940s.While international media tend to reduce the number of mutually unintelligible versions of English to some extent, Mid-Atlantic English tends to avoid Briticisms or Americanisms,[citation needed] so that it can be equally understandable and acceptable on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The term "mid-Atlantic" is sometimes used in Britain to refer, often critically, to British public figures who affect a quasi-American accent, such as fictional Radio Norwich DJ Dave Clifton from the BBC television comedy series I'm Alan Partridge.".
