Abstract

Given the pluricentric features of Portuguese language, this study presents an evaluation of language attitudes among the Chinese students towards different varieties of Portuguese. Through the application of a questionnaire based on the Subjective Reaction Test, the research successfully identified the language attitudes of the participants, thereby raising awareness of their prejudiced attitudes. The findings of this study aim to pave the way for fostering open-minded attitudes in the future.
