Resumen de Actitudes lingüísticas e ideologías educativas
Despite great efforts from the Mexican state in order to achieve that a formal education to the indigenous people take its place as a chief issue of the Mexican society, the results have turned out to be quite poor. The topic of linguistic ideologies from the particular point of discussion, offers the possibility of understanding the reason why great efforts and investments, related to the educative level among the indigenous population, should also consider this viewpoint. The following considerations belong to a research developed in the north and southern Zapoteca region as well as in the Triqui region of the state of Oaxaca(1994-1995) in a project called “Teaching practice and teachers attitudes towards the indigenous education”. This article concretely refers to the participants themselves linguistic ideologies expressed within diverse tendencies such as narrative judgements and arguments regarding the usage and functioning of languages (indigenous/Spanish), since this is where social decisions are constructed and verified in order to either support or reject projects such as the intercultural bilingual education. This work embodies a conceptual journey between two disciplinary fields that offer some explanations about the phenomenon of linguistic ideologies: sociolinguistics and anthropology
