Abstract
The topic of the research in this paper is Serbian-Slovak bilingualism in Vojvodina Bilingualism is a frequent occurrence in the world so Serbian-Slovak bilingualism in the contemporary multilingual Vojvodinian setting is quite natural. There are several forms of bilingualism, one of which includes natural bilingual speakers who are members of ethnic minorities (as is the case of Slovaks in Vojvodina), but also Serbs who live next to Slovaks. Whether a bilingual person from Vojvodina will use one language (Slovak) or the other language (Serbian) depends on the communicative situation and the interlocutor (if he/she is bilingual or monolingual). Linguistic competence in both languages is not the same with all Serbian-Slovak speakers and in their communication there is a lot of code-switching. After the introductory comments the second part is devoted to the issues of the concept of bilingualism, especially in the sense of theoretical-methodological bases of bilingualism and various definitions of this concept. Then we have the description of the methodology of research,
The core of the paper, describes the methodology of field research with the use of a questionnaire. Then the results of the questionnaire are presented and analyzed. Our informants were bilingual Serbian-Slovak speakers The research included 15 informants (8 male, 7 female) who were non-Slovaks. The analysis of the results from the questionnaire was directed at several key issues such as: linguistic competence of bilingual speakers (in Slovak language), how bilingual speakers evaluate their own competence in Slovak, in which situations they use Slovak. It is optimistic that all informants assessed their bilingualism as an advantage and a positive phenomenon.
