Abstract
The aim of this paper is to describe the linguistic attitudes of Galician speakers in Costa da Morte towards their own variation of the language. Although Costa da Morte is a region where people predominantly use Galician, rather than Spanish, in their everyday lives, they often have a negative attitude towards the non-standardised version of Galician they speak. This article examines the sociocultural context of the Galician language and explores how attitudes are influenced not by another dominant language system, but by the emergence of a prestigious standard version of the language.
