Detailed notes
    - This study focuses on the attitudes of university students of Turkish background towards the variety of Turkish spoken in Cyprus, namely Cypriot Turkish (CT), and Standard Turkish (ST). The participants of the study were sampled from the largest private university in the northern part of Cyprus and a questionnaire was distributed to explore whether their attitudes were by and large prescriptive or not. Age, gender and region from which they originated in Turkey were the variables through which possible differences in their attitudes were explored. In addition, the participants’ perceptions of their own linguistic productions of these two varieties were investigated through the questionnaire. The results showed that Turkish university students had somewhat negative attitudes towards CT, which they found to be highly inferior compared to ST. They also found CT less rich and less appropriate for expressing seriousness. CT was preferred over ST in none of the traits that were included in the questionnaire, although the participants rated the two varieties equally for being attractive, refined, friendly, melodic, affectionate and for expressing honesty.
