Language Attitude: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 1 by Dean Liu and Version 2 by Dean Liu.

Language attitude refers to an individual's or group's evaluative beliefs, feelings, and predispositions toward a language, language variety, accent, or its speakers [1][2]. These attitudes may involve judgments about linguistic prestige, social status, solidarity, identity, and perceived appropriateness, and may influence language choice, communication, and responses to different speech forms [1][2]. In sociolinguistics, language attitudes are examined in relation to social categorization, language variation, and the ways linguistic features acquire social meanings within particular communities and contexts.
