Abstract

This contribution investigates the attitudes of Flemish first language speakers towards Turkish-Flemish speakers of Dutch as a second language. We conducted a 2 x 2 x 2 speaker evaluation experiment measuring the effects of accent (native vs. Turkish), language variety (standard vs. colloquial) and name (Flemish vs. Turkish) on attitudes vis-à-vis male speakers of Belgian Dutch. Our findings provide no consistent evidence of a negative bias vis-à-vis Turkish names in Flanders. While this result could be attributed to a social desirability bias, consistent downgrading of the Turkish accent on Superiority provides an indication of the existence of an accent bias that penalises ethnic minority accents in competence-related judgements.

考察对荷兰语土耳其语使用者的口音偏见

这篇文章调查了讲佛兰德第一语言的人对讲荷兰语作为第二语言的土耳其裔佛兰德人的态度。我们进行了一项2 x 2 x 2说话者评估实验，测量口音（母语与土耳其语）、语言多样性（标准语与口语）和名字（佛兰芒语与土耳其语）对比利时荷兰语男性说话者态度的影响。我们的研究结果没有提供一致的证据表明佛兰德斯对土耳其名字有负面偏见。虽然这一结果可能归因于社会可取性偏见，但土耳其口音在优越性上的一贯降级表明了口音偏见的存在，这种偏见会在与能力相关的判断中惩罚少数民族口音。

期刊介绍： The Dutch Journal of Applied Linguistics (DuJAL) focuses on promoting Dutch and Belgian work in applied linguistics among an international audience, but also welcomes contributions from other countries. It caters for both the academic society in the field and for language and communication experts working in other contexts, such as institutions involved in language policy, teacher training, curriculum development, assessment, and educational and communication consultancy. DuJAL is the digital continuation of Toegepaste Taalwetenschap in Artikelen, which had been the journal of Anéla, the Dutch Association of Applied Linguistics, for forty years. Like its predecessor, DuJAL wants to offer a platform to young researchers in applied linguistics, i.e. PhD candidates and MA students. In order to maintain a high standard all submissions are subjected to a ‘double blind’ review by at least one external reviewer and two of the editors. Contributions may be written in Dutch, English, German or French.
