Language Attitudes. Edwards, J. Elsevier Ltd, 2006.
Paper abstract bibtex Attitudes are central features of social psychological life generally, and they underpin all sorts of judgments. Language attitudes form an important subset here – and a particularly interesting one, inasmuch as points of view that are clearly social constructions are commonly mistaken for ‘facts’; thus, our reactions to linguistic variants often rest upon (strongly held) beliefs that some things are right and some are wrong, that some dialects are ‘correct,’ others substandard. Illuminating some of the gloom here is important, as is the more fine-grained analysis of the dynamics of accent and dialect ranking.
