Investigating the relationship between early exposure and explicit and implicit attitudes towards Welsh and English

Activity: Talk or presentationOral presentation

Description

This paper explored the relationship between early language exposure and the language attitudes of Welsh-English speakers in north-west Wales.

Our findings indicate the importance of early language exposure in forming implicit attitudes, which suggests that increased means of exposure, particularly beyond educational contexts, should receive more attention in Welsh language policy and planning, and more generally in minority language situations where a good level of educations use has been established.
