This paper explores reported usage and evaluations of the ‘Australianness’ of heteronyms: pairs of words that have the same referent, are stylistically equal and traditionally are associated with different varieties of English. The data consist of 36 surveys completed by a diverse group of Australian English speakers. It examines the relationship between self reported usage, rankings of ‘Australianness’ and age. The findings indicate that older participants tend to report using more conservative forms. They also suggest that younger speakers differ to older ones in their views about the ‘Australianness’ of lexical items and that terms viewed as most Australian were also reported to be most used.200
