Аннотация:This article explores the language attitudes of young residentsof the Republic of Buriatiia toward two official languages inthe region, Buriat and Russian. The article also contributes to theresearch methodology on language attitudes and use, notably byemploying a verbal guise technique in a psychosociolinguistic experiment.In the experiment, both phonetically authentic (native,accent-free) and inauthentic (non-native, phonetically nonstandard)Buriat and Russian voices are evaluated by representatives of bothnationalities based on two distinct lines: achievement and charactertraits. The experiment revealed positive attitudes toward nativespeaking and perception of non-native speaking as a deviation fromthe norm that are indicative of the unconscious “one ethnicity—onelanguage” idea in the mass consciousness of the youth in Buriatiiaalong with the strategies of tolerance and ethnocentrism.
