A Contrastive Study of Argentinean and Spanish People’s Language Attitudes towards Different Varieties of English
Palabras clave:
actitudes lingüísticas, variedades del inglés, acento nativo, acento no nativo, técnica del verbal-guiseResumen
El presente trabajo examina y compara las actitudes lingüísticas de los argentinos y los españoles hacia distintas variedades del inglés en cuanto a dos dimensiones de evaluación: solidaridad y estatus. Para ello, 50 argentinos y 50 españoles completaron una encuesta que incluía un cuestionario directo y la técnica del verbal-guise, mediante la cual los participantes evaluaron dos variedades nativas y tres variedades no nativas del inglés, pertenecientes a los siguientes países: Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, Argentina, Bolivia y España. Los resultados de la encuesta se analizaron y compararon mediante un análisis de varianza unidireccional de medidas repetidas teniendo en cuenta la nacionalidad, el género y la edad de los participantes como variables independientes. Los resultados demuestran que, en todos los grupos, los participantes en general calificaron de forma más positiva a los hablantes nativos que a los no nativos en ambas dimensiones, aunque el hablante de Bolivia recibió una calificación de solidaridad bastante elevada en algunos grupos. Inesperadamente, los participantes no sintieron mayor solidaridad hacia los hablantes no nativos que representaban su propia variedad. Los hombres también otorgaron calificaciones más favorables que las mujeres, al igual que los participantes más jóvenes en comparación con los más mayores. Por último, al comparar las actitudes directas e indirectas de los participantes, surgieron diferencias entre los argentinos y los españoles y los hombres y las mujeres.
