Abstract

This chapter considers the role that participants’ ideological and attitudinal stances play in determining their current language practices. Language practices among former-GME students – both the overall extent and nature of interviewees’ Gaelic use – were demonstrated in the previous chapter to be rather limited among the majority of participants, with past socialisation experiences emerging as a key consideration in interviewee accounts, questionnaire responses, and statistical correlations. Building on that understanding, this chapter presents an analysis of interviewees’ language ideologies with a view to understanding how interviewees’ beliefs and linguistic identities may also influence their language practices. Ideologies are particularly examined in respect of appropriate Gaelic use, the wider Gaelic community, and the perceived relevance of Gaelic for cultural identities. A quantitative perspective is then brought to bear on these considerations using online attitudinal survey data.
潜在的语言使用:盖尔语意识形态和态度
本章考虑了参与者的意识形态和态度立场在决定他们当前的语言实践中所起的作用。前gme学生的语言实践——受访者使用盖尔语的总体程度和性质——在前一章中被证明在大多数参与者中相当有限,过去的社交经历在受访者的叙述、问卷回答和统计相关性中成为关键考虑因素。在此基础上,本章对受访者的语言意识形态进行了分析,以了解受访者的信仰和语言认同如何影响他们的语言实践。在盖尔语的适当使用、更广泛的盖尔语社区以及盖尔语与文化特性的感知相关性方面,对意识形态进行了特别审查。然后使用在线态度调查数据对这些考虑因素进行定量分析。
