Abstract:

Attitudes towards spoken, signed, and written language are of significant
interest to researchers in sociolinguistics, applied linguistics,
communication studies, and social psychology. This is the first
interdisciplinary guide to traditional and cutting-edge methods for the
investigation of language attitudes. Written by experts in the field, it
provides an introduction to attitude theory, helps readers choose an
appropriate method, and guides through research planning and design, data
collection, and analysis. The chapters include step-by-step instructions to
illustrate and facilitate the use of the different methods as well as case
studies from a wide range of linguistic contexts. The book also goes beyond
individual methods, offering guidance on how to research attitudes in
multilingual communities and in signing communities, based on historical data,
with the help of priming, and by means of mixed-methods approaches.
