Public and private language ideologies as reflected in language attitudes on the Island of Korčula, Croatia
The value of language attitude research lies in its capacity to uncover attitudes and stereotypes held by members of a group toward their ingroups as well as outgroups. Since languages are such powerful means of group identification, they may be considered as constitutive of communities. Attitudes expressed toward certain linguistic varieties may thus be perceived as attitudes held toward respective community-members. However, since attitudes are not always easily accessible, and are rarely one-dimensional but rather multi- layered, the application of different methodological approaches to the investigation of attitudes can enhance understanding of different dimensions of language attitudes, and offer an insight into overt (publicly proclaimed) and covert (privately held) ideologies. This paper brings the analysis of these two types of attitudes held by adolescents in three most populated places on the Island of Korčula. The analysis is based on the results obtained by means of a questionnaire eliciting, among other things, covert attitudes toward six local, regional and supra-regional varieties, and overt attitudes toward judges’ local speech and the Standard variety of Croatian. Although the results confirm some expected tendencies in the evaluation of different varieties, subsequently conducted analysis of speech recognition rates offers some valuable insights and interesting implications for further interpretation of the results.
