This work expands the study of the beliefs and linguistic attitudes of native Spanish speakers of Spain with respect to the other Hispanic varieties. Thirty-six native speakers participated in a mixed sociolinguistic survey. According to the results, participants prefer Spanish of Spain over American. They also manifest attitudinal differences with respect to American varieties. These linguistic beliefs also motivate linguistic attitudes among speakers, such as their preference for audio-visual dubbing in Spanish of Spain and the supremacy of Castilian as a prestigious linguistic variety.

Keywords : linguistic attitudes; linguistic beliefs; varieties of Spanish; Spanish of Spain; Spanish of the Americas.
