Summary/Abstract: In­ my­ paper­ I analyse­ the­ question­ of­ the­ demonstration­ of­ language­ variation­ in Hungarian­ textbooks­ of­ first­ language­ intended­ for­ primary­ and­ secondary schools­ in­ Slovakia.­ This­ time­ I only­ deal­ with­ aspects­ and­ methods­ of­ treatment of­ language­ dialects­ and­ contact­ varieties­ in­ these­ textbooks.­ Summing­ up­ the experiences­ of­ the­ research,­ we­ can­ determine­ that­ the­ examined­ textbooks transmit­ almost­ exclusively­ theoretical­ information­ on­ language­ dialects,­ while most­ of­ the­ study-aids­ convey­ negative­ stereotypes­ about­ the­ contact­ varieties.
