let me tell you these are very strong indicators of our opinions a box of our feelings at all hours of the superiors studying languages women is also used the saucer cultural is also it was fake context it's really an efficient way of telling us I'm explaining the language behavior as well as predicting change but how often do they really think of our language attitudes how do
we have speakers perceive are only was the choices and those individuals others and also what factors will influence our preferences for my language variety over another today I will answer all of these questions aleve specific reference to air so %HESITATION press start first by a positive attitude so what is the average other researchers you fight it house and so as a psychological variable which has three
main components the active components which concerns skaters feelings about language they might get a hit at about of the speakers of the language we also have the cognitive component which basically you find inside knowledge about it and finally we have the any other components which is the action or is it the better it is to like so if you are always talk about it of language
attitudes towards Arabic I would like to start with English and of they need skip less up loose by show of hands there and see if I can be seen anyone %HESITATION how do you think of this as good English okay yes good thank you and how many of you think of this as good English okay good I speak of more consensus in this room as the
best second one being an example of good English but I myself because basically we inherit our attitudes as members within each community so we live so let's turn to Mary context they saw humanistic realities of parables %HESITATION speakers use two languages classical Arabic and they're not you there what do I mean by this so speakers in every single Arab country has their own mind up his
act what is all this big features that differ from other file explorer spoken up parts with certain signatures but all apps used month placid blueberry as the language of unions and so to describe their relationship between classical Arabic and very popular added bass if I may say then all we referred to us holding the situation called by most and might I lose out here for two
coexistence of two languages have to manage our ID's one in this case that classical Arabic being the height for IBM as the formal it's the high the hardest by Bradley more complex it's specifically was for a very very formal situations like political speeches like religious our minds and it is the language of writing whereas very popular Arabic is basically the longer I need him for a
variety living if I die like that is supported by most oxidation and most importantly it is not used her right and so on in the minds of heresy to be strongly that Ventura he's are so distinctly apart I'm logically more logically asymptotically that big mac versions except in our imagination and so why do we have that great respect for facts about air me why is it
that high the revered variety well in the minds of Paris there are many reasons so ideologically speaking classical Arabic is the language of unity is an expression of barely felt it historically speaking as the summer home of civilization and linguistically course is the most beautiful the most a quick and and fortunately it is the language of education and the language all form of communication most importantly
that combines heiress to other groups okay NMU basically it is the language of the most six Israeli thanks which is that what I so because of this again the two varieties to number he's except in our imagination my research indicates otherwise so in my research I ask my respondents Arabic speakers about their attitudes and feelings about the vernacular Arabic in this he's Jordanian air overwhelming majority
said they had a favorable affected parts of Jews who had spoken but when I ask them about diabetes and whether they think that's not where it is more important to have classical Arabic overwhelming majority had been unfavorable cognitive attitude and as we did not notice there is a lack of harmony between speakers emotions of the lab had and speaker attitudes in the east coast yeah we
can also notice speakers out certainty about their attitudes as well we've socially mislaid his pick of this as a predictor of take another question I ask members on the news about their perception of the speakers who use classical Arabic and whether they are loyal or detachment community again speakers or respondents have majority of their violence being favorable cognitive Pete to classical Arabic because they said the
speakers are more oriented language and also closer and have the task that we give them communities but when I asked speakers about being thought everything was ordered the value they use at work again there was this favorable positive feeling towards his inner ocular into daily life communication and so again here we see it and that's what I'm seeing or a mismatch between speakers ides Adam on
the one hand and speakers behavior on the other hand again would like to think of this as a prediction off chains and so on resolved is I think clear couple I that separated classical air from their nuclear airbase that polluting system for a very very long time is becoming a little leery so attitudes are slightly changing speakers behaviors like it's changing and it's changing is undergoing
its way it's happening sooner or later with that I would like to conclude that by examining the language has to and complexities of that which I think you would I do think we can predict language change and it needs to be embrace and accepted even though it might cause some confusion or dissatisfaction we take you along the way but it has to be accepted as the
lead natural language developments for a living languages and so next time would you observe exchanging language or it is even linguistic behavior I advise you to enjoy that seems so embrace this and I'm designated for me because I was just curious sad there's nothing either bad or one but thinking makes it's thank you
