Description

(Text)
Investigating perceptions of linguistic variation in a culturally diverse context, this study examines immigrant language regard and ideologies in Florida and the U.S. Taking on a variationist perspective, it analyzes perceptual data against various social variables and combines approaches in sociolinguistics, perceptual dialectology and language attitude research. In doing so, mental maps were gathered and run in ArcGIS, an advanced information system to make geolinguistic spaces visible. Results reveal subliminal, yet strong language attitudes and prove that language regard is highly ideological in nature.
