The “vivid sociolinguistic profiling” of modern RP: analyzing responses to dialect in discourse Anne Fabricius Roskilde University Denmark Methods XII, Moncton, August 2005 Structure of the paper Introduction: RP and language attitudes Methods: stimuli and questionnaire Evaluation Data Nuances in the sociolinguistic profile RP as “situated” norm Introduction: Received Pronunciation and Language attitudes Aims to explore the sociolinguistic place of construct RPs through evaluative responses to various native RP and non/near-RP discourse samples Construct RPs constituted in more or less formalised notions of ’standard speech’ or ’elite speech’; stereotypes about speakers, speech styles and situations Introduction: Received Pronunciation and Language attitudes Interplay of local understandings and attitudes and attitudes to ’standardness’ (York as atypical northern city?)
