The studyexamines the informants’ attitudes towards dialects in general, as well as towardsthe Andalusian linguistic variety, compared to the standard Spanish. Theresearcher used a questionary and Likert’s scale to compare the subjects’ answers.The results show that students have positive attitudes towards the Andalusianlinguistic variety and towards dialects in general. The results also show that it is anadvantage to learn a standard dialect of a language. However, it is not necessary tobe able to speak standard Spanish. The subjects perceive a difference between theSpanish that they learn in class and the vernacular language that is spoken inMálaga. Furthermore, students don’t think that the Andalusian linguistic variety isa “bad language”. The analysis of both positive and negative answers according tothe variable gender showed that Swedish women in this study do not prefer to usethe standard language, nor do men prefer to use more dialectal or local language.This is contradicting the results of other similar studies.
