Nevertheless, the exact nature of attitudes remains ahighly controversial topic despite the wide interest that attitudes have received from variousresearch fields. The present article reviews the socio-psychological facets of language use. Itpresents a clear description and evaluation of different components, functions and importance oflanguage attitudes.
