| description | Linguistic stereotypes emerged both in relation to
biological and social factors. Different studies have offered different
methodologies to ascertain their emergence in children or even babies.
In this paper, we present a survey on six Italian regional varieties
tested on 79 children aged from 6 to 10 years old. The survey took
place in two elementary schools and used a paper questionnaire in
which emojis were used to express different values to be associated
with different accents. Our results show that this method was reliable
for studying linguistic stereotypes, even in children with a low level of
literacy due to their age. |
