description This paper describes the affective features of the linguistic attitudes of students from different geolectal areas of Colombia who attend to a university in Cali. This city is characterized by its cultural and dialectal plurality, partly due to forced migrations from armed conflict areas. In addition, in recent years, the Colombian State has boosted the access of top students to the university, mostly from rural areas. The diversity of uses of the language that students have built in their home contexts could get in tension with the dynamics of the college environment. From a mentalist perspective in which internal phenomena susceptible of self-observation prevail, it seeks to extrapolate the affective features of the linguistic attitudes of the population studied through a matched-guise and a questionnaire, instruments that inquire perceptions regarding five dialects very frequent used in the university. The results show different assessments of the dialects and an opinion on the Bogota accent as central, prestigious and standard, strongly associated with forms of academic orality.

Esta ciudad se caracteriza por su pluralidad cultural y dialectal, en parte debido a las migraciones forzadas desde zonas marcadas por el conflicto armado. Además, en años recientes, el Estado colombiano ha impulsado el ingreso a las universidades de jóvenes estudiantes académicamente sobresalientes, provenientes en su mayoría de zonas rurales. La diversidad de usos de la lengua que los estudiantes han construido en sus contextos de origen puede entrar en tensión con las dinámicas del ámbito universitario. A partir de una perspectiva mentalista en la que priman los fenómenos internos susceptibles de autoobservación, buscamos extrapolar los aspectos afectivos de las actitudes lingüísticas de la población estudiada a través de un matched-guise y un cuestionario, instrumentos que indagan por las percepciones respecto a cinco dialectos que se encuentran con frecuencia en la universidad. Los resultados evidencian valoraciones distintas de los dialectos y una consideración del dialecto bogotano como central, prestigioso y estándar, asociado fuertemente a las formas de oralidad académica. Cet article décrit les aspects affectifs des attitudes linguistiques des étudiants de différentes régions géolectales de Colombie, qui commencent leurs études dans une université quelconque de la ville de Cali. Cette ville est connue par sa pluralité culturelle et dialectale, due, en quelque sort, aux migrations forcées et successives en provenance de zones touchées par des conflits armés. En outre, au cours des dernières années, l’État colombien a favorisé l’entrée de jeunes étudiants, en provenance notamment des zones rurales, avec de très hautes performances académiques, à l’université, La diversité d’usages de la langue auxquels les étudiants ont donné vie dans leur contexte d’origine peut entrer en conflit avec la dynamique du monde universitaire. Dans une perspective mentaliste, où des phénomènes internes susceptibles de s’auto-observer sont privilégiés, nous cherchons à extrapoler les aspects affectifs des attitudes linguistiques de la population objet d’étude, à travers une démarche d’accouplement et un questionnaire, outils qui cherchent à établir les perceptions concernant cinq dialectes que l’on retrouve assez souvent chez les étudiants à l’université. Les résultats montrent évaluations différentes des dialectes et une prise en compte du dialecte de Bogota, associé étroitement aux formes d’oralité académique, comme étant le plus accepté, prestigieux et standard. Este artigo descreve os aspectos afetivos das atitudes lingüísticas de estudantes de diferentes áreas geográficas da Colômbia que ingressam em uma universidade na cidade de Cali. Esta cidade é caracterizada por sua pluralidade cultural e dialetal, em parte devido a migrações forçadas de áreas marcadas por conflitos armados. Além disso, nos últimos anos, o Estado colombiano aumentou a entrada de jovens estudantes academicamente destacados nas universidades, principalmente das áreas rurais. A diversidade de usos da linguagem que os alunos construíram em seus contextos domésticos pode entrar em tensão com a dinâmica do ambiente universitário. De uma perspectiva mentalista em que prevalecem fenômenos internos suscetíveis à auto-observação, buscamos extrapolar os aspectos afetivos das atitudes linguísticas da população estudada por meio de um matched-guise e de um questionário, instrumentos que investigam percepções sobre cinco dialetos que são freqüentemente encontrados na universidade. Os resultados mostram diferentes avaliações dos dialetos e uma consideração do dialeto de Bogotá como central, prestigioso e padrão, fortemente associado às formas de oralidade acadêmica.
