本文调查了英国受访者对“be like”和“go”这两个短语的态度。本文介绍了一项匹配伪装测试和一项社会态度调查的结果，并将其与美国关于be like和go-perception的研究结果进行了比较。结果发现，大西洋两岸的这两种说法的感知负荷在某些方面相似，而在另一些方面则有所不同。这实际上意味着，在借用的情况下，附着在语言项目上的刻板印象并不是简单地与表面项目一起被接管。更确切地说，采用全球资源是一个更具能动性的过程，在这个过程中，各种借用的发言者重新评价和重新创造态度。在全球语言趋势研究中，态度信息是一个重要的研究背景。
This article investigates the attitudes of British respondents towards the quotatives be like and go. The results of a matched guise test and a social attitudes survey are presented and compared with the findings of studies on be like and go-perception in the U.S. It is found that the perceptual load of the two quotatives on both sides of the Atlantic is similar in some respects and different in others. This effectively means that, in cases of borrowing, the stereotypes attached to linguistic items are not simply taken over along with the surface item. Rather, the adoption of global resources is a more agentive process, whereby attitudes are re-evaluated and re-created by speakers of the borrowing variety. It is suggested that attitudinal information presents an important backdrop to distributional studies in cases of global language trends.
