Gweithgaredd: Mathau o waith ymgysylltu 芒'r cyhoedd a gwaith maes - Gwaith ar baneli cynghori ar gyfer ymgysylltu cymdeithasol, cymunedol a diwylliannol (Cyfrannwr)Paper presented at the International Congress of Linguists 2024 in Pozna艅:
Active language policy and the fostering or maintenance of positive attitudes are fundamental
components in the prevention of language shift (e.g. Fishman, 1990). This, together with recent
methodological developments in sociolinguistics (Kircher & Zipp, 2022) calls for a more holistic approach to the measurement of language attitudes and their relationship with exposure levels. In this paper, we present three large studies investigating the relationship between early exposure, language attitudes, and different bilingual language policies in three European communities where a minority/endangered language co鈥恊xists with a sociolinguistically dominant language.
The bilingual communities under investigation are Lombard鈥怚talian in Italy, Moselle Franconian鈥怗erman in Belgium, and Welsh鈥怑nglish in Wales, exemplifying fundamentally different types of language policy as well as systematic variation in both opportunities for and amount of early exposure. The Welsh language receives full socio鈥恜olitical recognition, and there exist ample opportunities for people to be exposed to Welsh either in the family or broader community. Lombard, on the other hand, is in a situation of benign neglect, not benefitting from any active policy and with rather scarce opportunities for exposure except for those who grow up in a predominantly Lombard鈥恠peaking family. Moselle Franconian is somewhat in between: while not officially recognised, its speakers are considered a German鈥恠peaking minority. Importantly, however, due to a situation of diglossia (Ferguson, 1959), it is
Moselle鈥怓ranconian 鈥 rather than German 鈥 that is regularly spoken in daily communication, hence providing ample opportunities for early exposure.
To investigate the relationship between these different sociolinguistic situations and the effect they may have on speakers鈥 attitudes, we collected data from 338 participants aged between 24鈥36 years, employing three different methodologies that varied in degree of explicitness: the Attitudes towards Languages Questionnaire (Schoel et al., 2012), the Matched Guise Technique (Lambert et al., 1960), and the Implicit Association Test (Greenwald et al., 1998).
Data from each method will be investigated in relation to several indicators of early exposure
collected through a linguistic background questionnaire, as well as to extralinguistic variables 鈥 notably gender 鈥 while attitude dimensions such as status and solidarity will also be explored.
Preliminary results suggest potential links between bilingual language policy and speakers鈥
attitudes, with possible interactions between types of exposure and some of the attitude scores. This research can provide insight into how different policies may affect language attitudes, and the role of early exposure as potential mediator.

Gweithgaredd: Cyflwyniad llafar (Siaradwr)This paper explored the relationship between early language exposure and the language attitudes of Welsh-English speakers in north-west Wales.
Our findings indicate the importance of early language exposure in forming implicit attitudes, which suggests that increased means of exposure, particularly beyond educational contexts, should receive more attention in Welsh language policy and planning, and more generally in minority language situations where a good level of educations use has been established.

Speakers鈥 attitudes are considered a fundamental barometer for the vitality of a language (e.g., UNESCO, 2003). This, together with findings that implicit attitudes are generally stronger predictors of habitual and spontaneous behaviour (e.g., Perugini,鈥2005), raises two core questions: (1) which types
of attitudes and thus which attitude measurements are better predictors of language usage? (2) to what extent do different language policies feed different types of speakers鈥 attitudes? We explored these questions by measuring rates of spontaneous language usage and comparing them with attitudinal results from two methods that vary in degrees of implicitness: the Matched Guise Technique (Lambert et al., 1960) and the Implicit Association Test (Greenwald, McGhee & Schwartz, 1998) across two bilingual communities whose regional/minority languages receive radically different degrees of sociopolitical recognition: Lombard鈥揑talian (Italy) and Welsh鈥揈nglish (UK). Results from 163 participants
aged between 24鈥36 years show that usage rates correlate with MGT status scores for Lombard but not for Welsh. The reverse holds for IAT scores, correlating with usage rates for Welsh but not Lombard.
We propose that these findings can be understood in view of the different socio-political support associated with the two languages: while strong support for Welsh led to its use becoming habitual and thus able to be captured by implicit attitude measurements, the use of Lombard has been discouraged for decades, and therefore younger speakers who choose to use it are making a more deliberate, conscious decision, resulting in behaviour that corelates with the less implicit measurements of the MGT. These results have important implications for the study of language attitudes, particularly for the measurement of attitudes as a proxy for language vitality. Specifically, they suggest that the degree to which an attitudinal measurement can predict linguistic behaviour depends partly on the social and political circumstances of the language at issue.
