Linguistic Attitudes on the Use of the Magdeburg Regiolect This dissertation analyzes attitudes and perceptions of regiolects regarding the Magdeburg, Berlin, Leipzig and Standard German. Consultants listened to four recordings -- one in each linguistic variety -- and answered questions. The questions opened with the consultants' personal connection to each variety and opinions of the variety itself before creating a mental image of the physical appearance and the personality of the speaker in each recording. The final section elicited the consultants' attitudes about careers that would be best and worst suited for the speakers of the four linguistic varieties as well as provide an estimate of their education levels. The qualitative and quantitative data show a connection between the supposedly appropriate careers for standard and non-standard German speakers and whether Germans speak standard or non-standard varieties. The interviews also indicated that the level of education might be connected to which linguistic variety a person speaks. However, there is a set of careers requiring a social component, such as nursing or local radio broadcasting, that the interviewees believe to be well suited for speakers of non-standard varieties. The data indicate that speakers of the non-standard varieties in Magdeburg, Berlin and Leipzig can connect more easily with the general public of their cities and that the non-standard varieties themselves can create that proximity to the local population. Overall, Standard German seems to be correlating with higher education and a wide range of professions yet perhaps less social or friendly, whereas the use of regiolects of Berlin and Leipzig, which seem to be acceptable in more social settings. However, the Magdeburg regiolect speaker seems to be perceived negatively in both professional and more private settings.

520 $a This dissertation contributes to a body of knowledge that can help scholars and the general public understand connections between an individual's speech and linguistic prejudices that can, for example, influence their career path. Research in perceptual linguistics, including this dissertation, can inform educational policies regarding language in schools as well as which professions a speaker may be employed in.
