Zusammenfassung:: Abstract: It has been asserted that the development of sociolinguistic perception (including language attitudes) is protracted, with changes continuing throughout childhood, adolescence, and even into adulthood. However, this assumption of lifelong attitudinal development has primarily been explored on the basis of dialects and accents of English; whether the same is true in other contexts is unclear. In this contribution, we employ generalized additive modeling to investigate cross-sectional developmental trajectories of language attitudes among 304 German-speaking Austrian respondents across adolescence and adulthood (ages 14–84). Results underscore that language attitudes appear to remain flexible across the whole of life, and changes in language attitudes are especially pronounced among individuals in later life. Moreover, given the tenet that linguistic development is shaped by an individual’s lived experiences and reactions to life-stage specific linguistic demands, we investigate for the first time the extent to which cross-sectional changes in language attitudes are sensitive to significant life events, specifically ‘beginning a degree’, ‘entry into the workforce’, and ‘retirement’. Our findings reveal that retirement temporally coincides with particularly strong patterns of discontinuity in language attitudes. The results contribute to current issues regarding the temporal specificity of language development across the lifespan, and to outstanding questions concerning what drives this development.
