Little is known about the connection between individuals’ evaluative reactions to (i) minority languages as such, and (ii) specific varieties of these minority languages. This study investigates such evaluative reactions amongst new speakers of Frisian in the Netherlands (n = 264). A questionnaire was used to elicit participants’ attitudes towards the Frisian language and their evaluations of the specific variety of Frisian they were taught. The results reveal a significant correlation between participants’ status-related attitudes towards Frisian and their anonymity-related evaluations of the variety they were taught—as well as between participants’ solidarity-related attitudes towards Frisian and their authenticity-related evaluations of the variety they were taught. The former are close to neutral; the latter are mildly positive. The article discusses how these results not only advance our general understanding of language in society, but also facilitate the development of more comprehensive science communication to inform revitalisation strategies in minority contexts.

对少数民族语言及其变体的评价反应：来自西弗里斯兰语新使用者的证据

人们对个人对（i）少数民族语言本身和（ii）这些少数民族语言的具体变体的评价反应之间的联系知之甚少。本研究调查了荷兰新讲弗里斯兰语的人 (n = 264) 的评价反应。使用问卷调查来了解参与者对弗里斯兰语的态度以及他们对所教授的特定弗里斯兰语种类的评价。结果表明，参与者对弗里斯兰语的地位相关态度与他们对所教品种的匿名相关评估之间存在显着相关性，并且参与者对弗里斯兰语的团结相关态度与他们对所教品种的真实性相关评估之间也存在显着相关性。被教导。前者接近中立；后者是温和积极的。本文讨论了这些结果如何不仅促进我们对社会语言的普遍理解，而且促进更全面的科学传播的发展，为少数民族背景下的振兴战略提供信息。（语言态度、语言意识形态、少数民族语言、语言规划、语言复兴、语言传播、新使用者）*
