Thesis Abstract

Language attitudes are crucial in understanding the dynamics of language use and identity among teenagers. This research project delves into exploring language attitudes among teenagers in Uyo, with a specific focus on African languages and linguistics. The study aims to investigate how teenagers in Uyo perceive different African languages and how these attitudes influence their language choices and behaviors. Using a case study approach, the research will involve collecting data through surveys, interviews, and observations to gain insights into the language attitudes of teenagers in Uyo. The study will examine factors such as perceived prestige, cultural significance, and utility associated with various African languages among teenagers. By analyzing these language attitudes, the research seeks to uncover the underlying reasons behind language preferences and the impact of these attitudes on language use patterns among teenagers in Uyo. Furthermore, the project will explore the relationship between language attitudes and identity formation among teenagers. Language plays a key role in shaping individual and group identities, and understanding how teenagers in Uyo perceive different African languages can provide valuable insights into the complex interplay between language, culture, and identity. The research will investigate whether language attitudes contribute to the construction of social identities among teenagers and how these attitudes influence their sense of belonging and self-expression. Additionally, the study will examine the implications of language attitudes on language maintenance and revitalization efforts in Uyo. African languages face challenges of marginalization and endangerment due to the dominance of global languages and societal attitudes towards indigenous languages. By examining the language attitudes of teenagers in Uyo, the research aims to shed light on the potential strategies for promoting the use and preservation of African languages among younger generations. In conclusion, this research project on language attitudes among teenagers in Uyo offers a comprehensive analysis of how African languages are perceived and valued among teenagers in the region. By investigating the impact of language attitudes on language use, identity formation, and language preservation efforts, the study contributes to the broader understanding of language dynamics in multicultural societies. The findings of this research can inform language policies, educational practices, and community initiatives aimed at promoting linguistic diversity and cultural heritage among teenagers in Uyo.
