Linguistic Attitudes towards Maya and Learning Choices of Youth
Main Article Content
Abstract
Monolingual Spanish-Speaking youth in Merida currently state that the Mayan language is valuable and prestigious. Nevertheless, when they choose to learn a second language, preference leans towards English or another language. Motivated by this discrepancy, this study explores attitudes that influence the decisions of speakers to value one language and study another.
