A szlovákiai és a magyarországi Komárom nyelvi tájképének kvantitatív vonatkozásai
Quantitative aspects of the linguistic landscape in Komárno and Komárom

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to summarise the quantitative lessons learned from the authors’ recently published Slovak monograph called Jazyková krajina miest Komárno a Komárom, in Hungarian language. This is necessary because the book analyses the visual language use of two cities – which are often referred to by the same namein public language – on both sides of the Hungarian–Slovak border from a qualitative and quantitative point of view, focusing on bilingual aspects. That’s the reason why the research results can be useful for linguists and professionals who are also researching in a bilingual context, but do not know the Slovak language. The first part of the paper briefly presents the results of the qualitative research conducted so far on the linguistic landscape of Komárno in Slovakia. The second part focuses on the methodology of the quantitative APVV project and the results of the quantitative studies, both for Komárom in Hungary and Komárno in Slovakia.
