Abstract
This study investigates standard Seoul Korean speakers’ linguistic accommodation in dialect contact situations. In particular, the study examines how ‘gender’, ‘age’, and ‘length of residency in Gyeongsang’ can affect participants’ accommodation in dialect contact. The study also examines speakers’ motivations for accommodation in dialect contact. In addition, this study investigates correlations of participants’ accommodative acts and attitudes towards both the Gyeongsang dialect and standard Seoul Korean as well as attitudes towards Gyeonsang Province and Seoul. To find this correlation, the present study collected two kinds of data : phonetic data and identity assessment data. Participants carried out three tasks: TEST1, designed for investigating phonological variation, TEST2, designed for exploring lexical pitch accents, and an identity assessment questionnaire.
