In this mixed guise study, a group of West-Flemish and Limburgish youngadults were asked to judge four audio recordings, one of which was spoken inthe standard variety and three of which were spoken in various regional colloquialvarieties (namely Brabantish, West-Flemish and Limburgish). Bymeans of a principal component analysis, we identified three dimensionsunderlying the different attitudes towards the linguistic varieties mentionedabove (viz. a status-dimension, a social attractiveness-dimension and a personalintegrity-dimension) instead of the classic dichotomy status versus solidarity.Furthermore, the variables "region" and "sex" were found to trigger significantattitudinal differences.
