Higher rates of /u/ selection in the Nalón Valley group reflect positive attitudes toward Asturian, while the Gijón group's selection is affected by negative stereotypes.
Participants from the Nalón Valley (N=165) showed different vowel selection based on local language attitudes compared to Gijón (N=156).
Mixed-effects regression analysis revealed community context shaped the social links between language and stereotypes across the two groups.
The results suggest that understanding of language perception requires context-specific awareness of local language dynamics and attitudes.
