Abstract

Abstract Language ideology plays an important role in affecting both linguistic practice and analysis. Defining linguistic ideologies as “any sets of beliefs about language articulated by the users as a rationalization or justification of perceived language structure and use,” Silverstein (1979:193) stresses that in scientific studies of language one must distinguish ideology from actual language use. Woolard and Schieffelin (1994) and Bergvall (1999) emphasize the importance of examining the dominant, or hegemonic, ideology and its relationship to specific linguistic practices.
