An Investigation into the Correlation Between Ethnolinguistic Vitality and Well-Being
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the possible correlation between the sociolinguistic concept of ethnolinguistic vitality and the notion of well-being. French, English, mixed Aboriginal, and Chinese university students in Montreal participated in this research. One issue explored by the author is whether the groups perceived their ethnolinguistic vitality and their well-being differently from those of other groups Also, a new concept, norm-referenced ethnolinguistic vitality, is introduced by the author to explore the subjects' perceptions of the fair and just treatment of their ethnolinguistic groups. Furthermore, two components within ethnolinguistic vitality, one having to do with language and the other with group recognition, are isolated by the author and investigated as to their correlation with well-being. The author found that each group did perceive its ethnolinguistic vitality different from of the other groups in his study. Also, the author found that all measurements of ethnolinguistic vitality and its major components positively correlated with measurements of well-being, and many of these correlations were found to be statistically significant.
