Tartalmi leírás:
Since the birth of sociolinguistics the localization of
innovative speakers has been regarded as a key issue in the
study of language change. For this purpose, researchers
traditionally categorize the speakers of a speech community on
the basis of demographic and socioeconomic features; however,
these parameters prove not to be sufficient to identify
innovative speakers in all cases. It may be argued, however,
that the speaker’s implicit attitude towards linguistic
innovations may also be captured and may be a good indicator
of the speaker’s innovative linguistic behavior. This line of
research is not yet well elaborated on, probably due to the
complexity of the attitude construct (which makes the
measurement of implicit attitudes a challenging task), and the
difficulty of grasping attitude towards linguistic innovations
as such. The present study aims at addressing the potentials
present in this aspect of sociolinguistic investigation. We
review the psychological literature on the attitude construct
and propose that a method borrowed from social psychology, the
Implicit Association Test (IAT), may be adapted for the
measurement of implicit attitude towards linguistic
innovations if used with a linguistic variable that is subject
to an ongoing language change as the test variable (or
target). We report a pre-test conducted for variable selection
for the adaptation of the IAT, and analyze data gathered by
means of this newly created method for capturing implicit
innovative linguistic attitude. We propose that this new IAT
may be a useful tool in language change studies.
