EDUCATION AS A STIMULANT FOR POSITIVE LINGUISTIC ATTITUDES TOWARDS NATIVE LANGUAGES IN COLOMBIA
Keywords:
Indigenous languages, Language attitudes, sociolinguisticsAbstract
This paper presents an action-research study on Language Attitudes toward indigenous
languages at a Colombian public university. The Study addresses the analysis of the emerging sociolinguistic attitudes of a group of 39 students concerning minority languages.
This research settles a comparison between two groups of a single population sample. Data collection was based on a structured survey to the students and documentary analysis. Expected results might determine the impact of these ideologies and the
difference between those who have had contact with these languages and those who
haven’t. In conclusion, understanding our perception of Indigenous languages would
help us better understand their position in our society and give a better dimension to the
danger they are in
