“…Pauwels (2004) also has a similar opinion with Batibo (2005). According to Pauwels (2004) in Hudyma (2012, p. 3), the term of language maintenance is used to describe "a situation in which a speaker, a group of speakers, or a speech community continue to use their language in some or all spheres of life despite the pressure from a dominant or majority language".…”

“…Participants' references to losses in the stories are made with regard to the Afrikaans language and Afrikaner culture as well as to losses in aspects of their identity. Language maintenance and shift theory (e.g., García, 2003;Pauwels, 2004) addresses both objective and subjective loss, the latter being speakers' own perceptions of their language loss. Loss of access to Afrikaans and opportunities to speak Afrikaans can lead to "linguistic longing" (Barkhuizen & Knoch, 2005), some aspects of which are anticipated by participants.…”

This article reports on a study which investigated the language- and identity-related, predeparture concerns and expectations of prospective immigrants. Narrative interviews were conducted with 15 Afrikaans-speaking South Africans who planned to emigrate to New Zealand within months of their participation in the study. The participants' stories were told and interpreted within the exploratory space created by the intersection of three narrative dimensions (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000); that is, the personal and social experiences of participants moving backwards and forwards in time and physical space. From our socially-situated content analysis of the experiences articulated in their narratives we identified a number of thematic threads which we found to be salient. We chose five of these through which to channel our presentation of the findings: linguistic, cultural and national roots; the process of change; imagined identity changes; imagined losses and longing; emotional responses to anticipated changes. Further interpretative analysis of the findings produced five interrelated axes on which the participants, through their stories, position themselves. By examining participants' imagined experiences, our aim is to broaden the scope of research on language, identity and immigration. It allows us to make connections between life before and after migration, and thus to focus on the “journey” (Brah, 1996).

“…Además, la sociolingüística ha reconocido en las actitudes lingüísticas la clave para responder a dos de las interrogantes básicas relativas al cambio lingüístico: el problema de la evaluación, principalmente, y el problema de la actuación, de manera complementaria (Tuten & Tejedo-Herrero, 2011). La revitalización y mantenimiento de lenguas, por otra parte, depende, entre diversos factores, de las actitudes que los usuarios y los grupos dominantes tengan hacia estos códigos comunicativos (Pauwels, 2004). Asimismo, los estudiosos de la interacción comunicativa han hallado en este concepto una valiosísima herramienta interpretativa (Giles & Billings, 2004).…”

A través de una encuesta de actitudes lingüísticas, pedimos a 400 hispanohablantes santiaguinos asociar un conjunto de características extralingüísticas con distintas variedades geopolíticas del español. Los sujetos asocian el español de Chile con características relativas a la solidaridad, mientras que asocian las relativas al estatus con las variedades que funcionan como modelo normativo (español de España o de Perú). Consideramos que esto revela una representación social del español influenciada por la ideología de la lengua estándar y por la construcción histórica, a nivel lingüístico-ideológico, de una relación jerárquica entre las variedades del español.
