Abstract:

A number of researchers have argued that speakers' attitudes mediate the
outcome of language-planning measures. This study aims to contribute to the
literature by exploring the role of attitudes in purism, a
language-planning orientation which seeks to preserve a language from
putative foreign items. More specifically, the study focuses on Valencian,
a dialect of Catalan spoken in eastern Spain. The colloquial register of
this variety is heavily Castilianized at the lexical level, despite two
decades of governmental action aimed at reducing the number of Spanish
borrowings (also known as Castilianisms).

A strong relationship between Valencian speakers' attitudes and their
linguistic behavior (ie, their use of either Castilianisms or native
equivalents) would direct local planners to heed speakers' attitudes as a
prerequisite to the success of lexical de-Castilianization. The author
analyzes attitudinal and behavioral data from 80 Valencian-speaking
subjects and discusses the implications of the results for language
planning in the area.
