Evaluational Reactions to Spoken Languages
|
| Abstract |
Regarding language as an identifying feature of a national or cultural group, French and English Quebec students in the late 1950s were asked to evaluate English-speaking and French-speaking speakers. Bilingual speakers were used who recorded passages in both French and English. Students rated the speakers on the basis of traits related to desirability in regard to friendship, e.g., dependability, intelligence, character, etc. As expected, English-speaking students rated those speaking in English more favorably; unexpectedly, so did the French-speaking students. The authors attributed these results to the higher socio-economic situation understood to be experienced by most English speakers in comparison to French speakers in pre-1960s Montreal.
