RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Sources of variation in Galician multilinguals' attitudes towards Galician, Spanish, English and French A1 Pena Díaz, María Carmen A1 Dewaele, Jean-Marc K1 Attitudes K1 multilingualism K1 Galicia K1 actitudes lingüísticas K1 multilingüismo K1 Filología K1 Philology AB In this study we investigate the sources ofindividual differences in the language attitudes of 125 students enrolled in a language school in La Coruña (Galicia). Adopting a multicompetence perspective (Cook, 2012), we assumed that the presence of a particular language in the mind of a multilingual may affect attitudes towards the other languages. Considering the unique status, prestige and history of Galician, Spanish, English and French in La Coruña, we also assumed that differences in attitudes towards these languages could be linked more or less strongly to various background variables in participants such as self-perceived proficiency, type of upbringing (monolingual or bilingual), age of onset of learning, exposure to foreign languages through television and visits to the foreign country, gender and age. The results of statistical analyses confirm that connections exist in the attitudes toward the different languages, and that the independent variables have different effects on the attitudes towards the four languages.
