I don't know about the rest of the forum members, but I'm sorry to say that I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you talking about regional accents perhaps? Can you provide more detail, preferably with examples?

BiangziI am quite confused about some terms here, that's why I need someone to enlighten me on the first question, so I might can continue with the others.

So, CalifJim, can you help me out?

I think most native English speakers would be pretty confused by these terms...

The text you have provided and its website source shows that it is a specialist academic subject, and perhaps it needs an academic expert in the matter to explain the meanings.
However, in ordinary English I think it means "What accents have unsatisfactory(negative) effects on other hearers."
