Aspects of Language Attitude

Language attitudes are complex evaluative reactions to different language varieties, encompassing three primary components: **cognitive**, **affective**, and **conative**. These components help explain how individuals perceive, feel about, and behave towards languages.

## Cognitive Component

The cognitive aspect involves an individual's beliefs and knowledge about a language. This includes perceptions regarding its status, utility, and the social groups associated with it. For instance, individuals may believe that speaking a particular language correlates with intelligence or socioeconomic status. Research indicates that language attitudes often stem from social categorization and stereotyping processes, where listeners use linguistic cues to infer social group membership and subsequently attribute stereotypic traits to speakers based on those inferences[1].

## Affective Component

Meaning in Interaction: an Introduction to Pragmatics

 

Jenny Thomas is a significant figure in the field of pragmatics, particularly known for her contributions to the understanding of **pragmatic failure**. Her seminal work, notably the 1983 article "Cross-cultural Pragmatic Failure," laid the groundwork for analyzing how misunderstandings occur in communication across different cultures.

## Key Concepts of Jenny Thomas's Pragmatics

### **Pragmatic Failure**

- **Definition**: Thomas defines pragmatic failure as "the inability to comprehend what is intended by what is spoken" [1]. This concept highlights the challenges that arise when speakers and listeners come from different cultural backgrounds, leading to misinterpretations of meaning.

- **Types**: She categorizes pragmatic failures into two main types:

  - **Pragma-linguistic failure**: This occurs when there are misunderstandings about the pragmatic force of an utterance, often due to different linguistic contexts.

  - **Socio-pragmatic failure**: This type arises from differing beliefs about social norms, rights, and expectations in communication [3][4].
