520 | |a This report is the first in a series of four intended to study language attitudes and language maintenance among whites in the Republic of South Africa. The series is based on data provided by a large-scale survey conducted during 1973-1974. The present report deals with attitudes toward English and Afrikaans as official languages, about bilingualism as a national policy, and about the personal need for two languages. The subjects of the study were 1,607 adult whites in the major metropolitan areas. Respondents completed two questionnaires and samples of their language use were tape recorded. The questionnaires inquired into the need for the two official languages, the personal needs people have for a second language, the social spheres in which such needs exist, and feelings about bilingual schooling. The report is presented in four sections: (1) language loyalty: background, theory and concepts; (2) a sociolinguistic research project: the samples, the survey, the attitude questions and the variables; (3) opinions on bilingualism; and (4) the findings, analyzed according to language groups and other basic variables. The most important finding is that the bilingual policy of the country was strongly supported by almost all respondents; however, marked differences between Afrikaners and English-speaking were found in the type of bilingualism espoused and the spheres of need. Another significant finding is that the Afrikaner needs English more than the English-speaking needs Afrikaans. (AMH) | ||
