Abstract

This article presents the results of the first research on beliefs and attitudes of university students in Barcelona towards the Andalusian variety, following the methodology designed and employed by the PRECAVES XXI project. The subjects observed are students from the Faculty of Philology and Communication at the University of Barcelona, divided into two groups: on the one hand, first-year students who do not have specific knowledge of the varieties of Spanish; on the other, students who have taken subjects such as Spanish Language History, Spanish of America or Spanish Sociolinguistics and who, consequently, have acquired knowledge about the Spanish varieties. The data obtained will allow us to know to what extent young Barcelona university students identify the Andalusian variety and what attitude they have towards it.
