摘要：In this study we investigate the sources of individual differences in the
language attitudes of 125 students enrolled in a language school in La
Coruña (Galicia). Adopting a multicompetence perspective (Cook, 2012),
we assumed that the presence of a particular language in the mind of a
multilingual may affect attitudes towards the other languages. Considering
the unique status, prestige and history of Galician, Spanish, English and
French in La Coruña, we also assumed that differences in attitudes towards
these languages could be linked more or less strongly to various
background variables in participants such as self-perceived proficiency,
type of upbringing (monolingual or bilingual), age of onset of learning,
exposure to foreign languages through television and visits to the foreign
country, gender and age. The results of statistical analyses confirm that
connections exist in the attitudes toward the different languages, and that
the independent variables have different effects on the attitudes towards
the four language.
