Language Use, Attitude, and Linguistic Identity among Palestinian Students in East Jerusalem
Olsen, Kristen; Olsen, Holly
International Multilingual Research Journal, v4 n1 p31-54 2010
Language-switching, attitude, and linguistic identity among 10th-grade female students in East Jerusalem are influenced by current political, social, and ethnic conflicts. The students make decisions to use English, Hebrew, and Arabic--the 3 regional languages--based on issues of hegemony and social influences. Participants in this study track locations and reasons for secondary language-switching; offer insights regarding their language attitudes for English, Hebrew, and Arabic; and explore linguistic ignominy and ethnolinguistic identity.
