This project will examine the extent to which speakers are implicitly, and explicitly, aware of regional accents and their social value. I will use a combination of ociolinguistic and social cognitive methods to investigate how awareness of variation affects speakers' ability to perceive and produce regionally marked language and construct regional identities. This research will be conducted in the South of France, where there is evidence that despite a strong sense of regional identity, speakers appear largely unaware of localised accent features, and these are quickly receding in favour of a northern standard. While sociolinguistics has shown that speakers use regional accents differently depending on whether they are consciously aware of their social value, determining speaker awareness is challenging (Kerswill & Williams, 2002). Recent work shows that much social information is unconsciously understood (e.g. Babel, 2010), though it is unclear how much control speakers have over this information in their own speech. This is significant given the role that regional variation plays in constructing personal identities. This project will use an original combination of methods taken from sociolinguistics and cognitive science to distinguish between this automatic, implicit awareness, and more explicit awareness that is subject to commentary. This distinction is new and underexplored, but necessary to advance our models of how awareness influences language use.

这个项目将考察说话者在多大程度上含蓄和明确地意识到地区口音及其社会价值。我将使用社会语言学和社会认知相结合的方法来研究变异意识如何影响说话者感知和产生区域标记语言以及构建区域身份的能力。这项研究将在法国南部进行，那里有证据表明，尽管说话者具有强烈的地区认同感，但他们似乎基本上没有意识到本地化的口音特征，而且这些特征正在迅速消退，转向北方标准。虽然社会语言学表明，说话人使用地区口音的方式取决于他们是否有意识地意识到自己的社会价值，但确定说话人的意识是具有挑战性的(Kerswill&Williams，2002)。最近的研究表明，许多社交信息是无意识地被理解的(例如，Babel，2010)，尽管还不清楚说话者在自己的言语中对这些信息有多大的控制力。考虑到地区差异在构建个人身份认同中所起的作用，这一点意义重大。这个项目将使用社会语言学和认知科学的原始组合方法来区分这种自动的、内隐的意识和更明确的受评论影响的意识。这种区别是新的，还没有得到充分的研究，但对于推进我们关于意识如何影响语言使用的模型来说，这是必要的。
