Language plays a crucial role in shaping public perceptions, reinforcing ideological dominance, and legitimizing government policies.

Attitudes And Perceptions Toward The Qassimi Dialect, Fahad M. Alwehaibi
Theses and Dissertations
This study explores attitudes and perceptions surrounding the Qassimi dialect within Saudi Arabia. It addresses two primary questions: What are the attitudes of Qassimi speakers toward their own dialect? and What are the perceptions of non-Qassimi Saudi citizens regarding the Qassimi dialect in terms of stereotypes and its speakers?

In order to do this, …

Los Pronombres De Segunda Persona Del Singular Y La Cortesía Verbal En Español Peninsular Y En Euskera, Gorka Basterretxea Santiso

Tomando como punto de partida los pronombres de segunda persona del singular del español peninsular –tú y usted– y los del euskera –hi y zu–, el presente trabajo …
