From phonetic perception to language ideologies

Reflections on the pronunciation of a Vojvodina Hungarian singer

Summary/Abstract: In the analysis I have demonstrated how the pronunciation of even just one word pronounced differently from the average Hungary Hungarian pronunciation can elicit strong responses in the audience and can make language ideologies surface. Since the study addresses an issue of a very popular female singer’s pronunciation, the comments made under her videos on YouTube provide a lot of valuable data. Methodologically, such data collection is relevant and effective because subjects divulge their language attitudes and the language ideologies connected to them in a starkly honest manner amidst the anonymity of the indirect virtual space, which allows for hidden and implicit ideologies to surface as well.
