This study examines how language attitudes play a role in the adoption of dialectal variants in second language (L2) pronunciation in a study abroad context. Twenty‐four North American university students participating in a 6‐week program in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were administered pre and posttest questionnaires and a posttest oral production task to determine how different background and attitudinal variables relate to production of two Argentine dialectal sounds, lenited‐/s/ and assibilated pre‐palatal /ʃ ʒ/. Results show that though students did not produce lenited‐/s/ forms, use of dialectal /ʃ ʒ/ phones by the end of the program was high—but variable—across individuals. Dialect preference, feelings toward Spanish, and desire to sound native‐like were identified as predictors of use of dialectal /ʃ ʒ/. These findings illustrate how social variables play a role in target model accent preferences and adoption of dialectal sounds in L2 pronunciation in a study abroad context.

在国外学习中采用方言发音时发展语言态度的作用

这项研究考察了在国外学习环境中语言态度如何在采用第二语言(L2)发音的方言变体中发挥作用。参加在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯进行为期6周的计划的24名北美大学生接受了测试前和测试后的问卷调查以及测试后的口头制作任务,以确定不同的背景和态度变量与两种阿根廷方言声音的产生有何关系-/ s /和辅助pal前/ʃ//。结果表明,尽管学生没有产生拼音/ s /形式,但在程序结束时使用方言/ʃʒ/电话对个人的使用率很高,但变化很大。方言的偏爱,对西班牙语的感觉以及听起来像土生土长的愿望被确定为使用方言/ʃʒ/的预测因素。
