Abstract

This study examines the perceptions of inclusive language among first- and second-generation Spanish speakers residing in North Carolina, USA, based on survey data collected from 337 speakers by undergraduates. The survey examines familiarity with innovative inclusive language forms (including -@, -x, and -e), as well as opinions about different forms (including standard morphology forms such as masculine default and noun doubling – i.e., chicos y chicas), and reported use of inclusive forms. A majority of participants expressed negative opinions of innovative forms, and very few reported actually using them in their speech. Acceptance varied based not only on participant social characteristics, but also on the morphology and the context in which the form is used. Exceptions to these trends, as well as the possible future development of inclusive language forms, receive additional attention. Research methodologies with undergraduates are also discussed.
东南地区西班牙语对包容性语言的认知
这项研究基于对337名本科生的调查数据,调查了居住在美国北卡罗来纳州的第一代和第二代西班牙语使用者对包容性语言的看法。该调查考察了对创新的包容性语言形式(包括-@、-x和-e)的熟悉程度,以及对不同形式(包括标准形态形式,如阳性默认和名词加倍,即chicos y chicas)的看法,并报告了包容性形式的使用情况。大多数参与者对创新形式表示负面看法,很少有人报告在演讲中实际使用了这些形式。接受程度的变化不仅取决于参与者的社会特征,还取决于形态和使用形式的背景。这些趋势的例外情况,以及包容性语言形式未来可能的发展,都受到了额外的关注。还讨论了本科生的研究方法。
