Answer:From what I read, a speech repertoire is defined as a set of varieties controlled and used by an individual, including varieties associated with their region and social class but also with the communicative contexts they encounter. The concept is a little bit difficult to understand without an example. So is a repertoire simply a broad, general term for the linguistic varieties that a speaker has? Can Canadian accent be a speech repertoire? Can accents be considered as a variety of a language (e.g. Canadian accent vs. Standard American accent)?
