Plot and interpretation of factor loadings of table 3 (p. 46) (see here as pdf).
Attitudinal dimensions with respect to speaking one’s vernacular dialect are generally interpreted in terms of solidarity and distance. In this study we make a case for an interpretation as acquired dispositions in terms of attitude formation during one’s life course (Time):
1) Dialect attitudes are acquired in childhood within the family by contact with parents and siblings.
2) Dialect attitudes are modified in one’s own, later life sphere, like marriage/partnership in contacts with one’s children, friends, colleagues, and neighbours.
3) Dialect attitudes change in contact with other persons, strangers and officials like one’s general practitioner.
(Solidarity and distance could be secondary to this development).
