DEFINITION OF LANGUAGE ATTITUDE

• Language attitudes are actually the feelings
  people have about their own language or the
  languages of others, and further defined, as an
  individuals psychological construction regarding
  their own language and/or the languages of others
  (see Crystal in Simsek et al. 2007 1).

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NOTION OF SPEECH AND
LANGUAGE ATTITUDE

• The notion of speech community is most generally
  used as a tool to define a unit of analysis
  within which to analyze language variation and
  change. Stylistic features differ among speech
  communities based on factors such as the group's
  socioeconomic status, common interests and the
  level of formality expected within the group and
  by its larger society.

THE MATCHED-GUISE

• The Matched-Guise Test is a sociolinguistic experi
  ment technique employed by a method and its most
  related research in two or more guises, which has
  been lately known as matched-guise or
  matched-guise model.
• This experiment was first introduced by Lambert
  in 1960s to determine attitudes

THE INFLUENCE FACTOR OF LANGUAGE ATTITUDE

• According to Reagan (2002 47f.), and from an
  American point of view, the fundamental factors
  which determine a languages attitude are the
  following six factors
• (1) the size of the languages speaker community
• (2) the geographic spread of the language
  (including its use as a second language, or
  lingua franca)
• (3) whether the language constitutes a heritage
  language in the local American setting
• (4) whether the language is a language of wider
  communication
• (5) whether the language has an established and
  recognised literary/written tradition and
• (6) whether the language is a living or dead
  language.

THE INSTRUMENTAL AND INTEGRATIVE LANGUAGE ATTITUDE

• When studying language attitudes, the concept of
  motives is important. Two basic motives are
  called instrumental and integrative motives.
• If L2 acquisition is considered as instrumental,
  the knowledge in a language is considered as a
  "passport to prestige and success". The
  speaker/learner considers the speaking/learning
  of English as functional (Ellis 1991 117).
• On the other hand, if a learner wishes to
  identify with the target community to learn the
  language and the culture of the speakers of that
  language in order to perhaps be able to become a
  member of the group, the motivation is called
  integrative.
