The objective of this article is to analyse linguistic attitudes of Chedugun speakers who transmit the language as L1 in the community of Butalelbún, VIII Region of Bio-Bío. The data were collected during four güxamkawün (meetings) that were held with two families participating in the program “Phonological Acquisition and Development in Mapuzungun. Longitudinal Study in a Sample of Mapuche Children from 18 to 42 Months of Age.” They were subsequently assessed through the process of content analysis and the data triangulation process, and this, in turn, led to formation of units of analysis (UA). The results point to the existence of different components present in the linguistic attitudes of the participants that favour the transmission and projection of Chedugun as L1.
