Abstract

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the US and one of the attacked and minoritized languages in the territory. To investigate the presence of the myths regarding Spanish and its speakers in the US, 210 participants were recruited to express their (dis)agreement with 8 myths in a 6-point Likert scale. The results indicate a high tendency for myth rejection regardless of their (i) self-reported race/ ethnicity, (ii) level of education, and (iii) (absence of) knowledge of Spanish except for a few of them. Thus, the present study would entail that the hegemonic linguistic ideology in the US is starting to change.

西班牙语是美国第二大使用语言，也是美国境内被攻击和少数化的语言之一。为了调查美国是否存在关于西班牙语及其使用者的神话，研究人员招募了 210 名参与者，让他们用 6 点李克特量表对 8 个神话表示（不）同意。结果表明，除少数人外，无论他们（i）自称的种族/民族，（ii）受教育程度，以及（iii）（不懂）西班牙语，都有很高的拒绝神话的倾向。因此，本研究表明，美国的语言霸权意识形态正在开始改变。
