Annotation
This paper aims to identify novel language attitude dimensions, accounting for both their language-specific uniqueness and essential multidimensionality. Italian-English bilinguals in Australia e.g. evaluate their languages after three peculiar dimensions only partly established in literature: charm, dominance and efficacy. These three dimensions disclose the importance of bilingualism in attitude shaping.
