요약Language use is one method with which speakers can express their own identities and attitudes towards their language varieties and the varieties of others, whether explicitly or implicitly. For speakers of a dialectal variety or minority/regional language such as East Frisian Low German, social factors such as age and gender influence attitudes of the speakers themselves, as well as the language ideologies expressed by their communities of practice. The attitudes in turn impact their use of minority languages (Boas & Fingerhuth, 2017). Parallels to the current German dialectal situation can be seen in Irish (Gaelic) speakers in Ireland, where bureaucratic assistance and inclusion of the languages in the education system have still not led to a dramatic increase in the number of Irish speakers in Ireland (Wiggers, 2006: 289-290). Research on the question of speaker gender and the maintenance of minority languages in immigrant and minority communities exists in literature focusing on bilingualism and multilingualism (Winter & Pauwels, 2005; Pavlenko, 2001), but there is a lack among studies of dialectology, in which Low German is often included. In order to help answer the question of why a dialect or minority language is either being maintained or lost, this dissertation seeks to answer the question of whether speaker gender and the subsequent gender roles in the community are influential in this process.Speakers of Low German themselves view the ability to speak it as part of their regional identity (Wiggers, 2006), and there exists a long history of literature produced in Low German, as well as other forms of media such as radio and theater (Kremer, 1997). However, despite various federal and local level efforts to encourage the maintenance of Low German, it remains endangered, and a language primarily used in the private domain with friends and family (Biehl, 1999; Reershemius, 2009: Stellmacher, 2017). This dissertation seeks to address if, and how, the role of speaker gender identity within a regional language community like that of the Low German speakers in East Frisia influences maintenance of an endangered minority language. Expanding upon questions raised by Jones (2023) about the role of speaker gender identity in the transmission and maintenance of dialectal varieties, the intention is to add to existing literature concerning speaker gender and minority/regional language maintenance, loss, and eventual death.Analyzing survey data from 172 respondents via speaker gender and age, with supporting evidence from 34 open-ended sociolinguistic interviews with Low German speakers, this dissertation argues that reported language attitudes towards East Frisian Low German itself, as well as towards language promotion, are directly influenced by the social identities held by speakers in this region. In this community, age is a factor in continued transmission, as with many heritage languages. However, the importance of the perceived value of the language by specifically female speakers became evident during interviews. While female speakers are not the ideal speaker, they remain influential in the process of language transmission and revitalization in the region. This study also gives evidence as to why support at multiple levels has not translated into an increase in speakers and renewed interest by the speakers themselves to continue maintenance of an endangered language. While speakers are generally enthusiastic about the prospect of continued transmission, demotivating responses from fluent speakers towards learners and non-speakers is negatively affecting the viability of language revitalization.
