Bilingualism and linguistic landscape in the city of Komárno in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: The ethnic composition, and consequently, the language use and the linguistic landscape of the population of Komárno in Slovakia is continuously changing. The aim of the research which our paper is based on is to create a “map” of bilingualism in Komárno. Two autochthonous nationalities live in the city, which has a Hungarian majority. The research is rooted in a fieldwork using the method of questionnaire survey, and examines socio-linguistical, sociological and socio-psychological variables. An important viewpoint of the research is the to define the nationality/ and first language of the informants, since the aim of the project is to assess the orientation and attitudes of informants towards bilingualism, and to clarify their attitude towards bilingualism, national self-determination and the assimilative tendencies of the population of the city.
