Abstract

This study examined the potential sociodemographic and language predictors of language attitudes. A sample of 292 adults completed an online survey that assessed their attitudes toward multilingualism, raising multilingual children, and language learning. Language proficiency, language use, multilingual contact, and parental education level predicted language attitudes.
