Language Attitudes of Residents of Eastern and South-Eastern Vilnius (Vilniškiai)

Summary/Abstract: The article has been developed on the basis of the material under the Project “Modern Research of Geolinguistics in Lithuania: Optimization of Network of Points and Interactive Spread of Dialect Information” carried out at the Institute of the Lithuanian Language in the years 2011–2013. The sociolinguistic questionnaires filled in during the Project enable the exploration of the use of languages and dialects taking into consideration different social factors covering the most important domains of language use and age groups (younger (under 30 years old), middle (31–50 years old) and older (from 51 years old) generations). The data of 34 points of Eastern Aukštaitian sub-dialect of Vilnius gathered in the localities of Tverečius, Adutiškis,Švenčionys, Švenčionėliai, Mielagėnai, Strūnaitis, Sariai, which are attributed to Eastern and South-Eastern sub-dialects of Vilnius by dialectologists, are under analysis. The relations between the standard language, sub-dialect of Vilnius and Slavic languages (Belarusian, Polish, Russian) were analyzed based on their use in different domains: individual (thinking), private (home, family) and public (village community, official communication, school, church).
