4、对维语、汉语和英语都持有肯定和积极的态度。他们对维语的评价要高于汉语和英语这体现了他们对母语的浓厚和坚定的感情。他们重视汉语和英语主要是从它们的实用型和工具型价值出发的。在他们的自我能力评价中他们认为他们的维语能力最高其次是汉语英语最差。望此研究在新疆这个多语地区对制定正确切实可行的语言规划和教学规划有一定的参考价值。 关键词 维吾尔族大学生语言态度变语配对 Study on Uyghur University Students Language Attitudes by Applying the Matched-Guise TechniqueAbstract Language attitud
