| Abstract | This study examines how language attitudes play a role in the adoption of dialectal variants in second language (L2) pronunciation in a study abroad context. Twenty-four North American university students participating in a 6-week program in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were administered pre and posttest questionnaires and a posttest oral production task to determine how different background and attitudinal variables relate to production of two Argentine dialectal sounds, lenited-/s/ and assibilated pre-palatal /[Esh - voiceless palato-alveolar fricative] [Ezh - voiced postalveolar fricative]/. Results show that though students did not produce lenited-/s/ forms, use of dialectal /[Esh - voiceless palato-alveolar fricative] [Ezh - voiced postalveolar fricative]/ phones by the end of the program was high--but variable--across individuals. Dialect preference, feelings toward Spanish, and desire to sound native-like were identified as predictors of use of dialectal /[Esh - voiceless palato-alveolar fricative] [Ezh - voiced postalveolar fricative]/. These findings illustrate how social variables play a role in target model accent preferences and adoption of dialectal sounds in L2 pronunciation in a study abroad context. (As Provided). |
