Bilingual Official Policy and Ideologies in Formal Interactions and Development of Plurilingualism and Interculturalism in Informal Interactions Among the Young Croatian-Italian Bilinguals in Istria

The paper presents an overviw of the croatian- italian bilingual policy and the practical perspectives of formal and informal language use and ideology in the Region of Istria. The Statute of the Istria County and other legislative regulations will be put into relation with the educatonal practice in Italian schools, taking into account the language education policy profiles of the European perspectives for the promotion of plurilingualism and intercultural education, particularly in border areas. Beside a brief review of the major theoretical perspectives related to the current state of bilingualism in Istria (Milani Kruljac 1990, 1992, 2003 ; Scotti Juric 1998, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 ; Filipi 1987, 1988-89 ; Orbanic 1989, 1990-1991 ; Bogliun Debeljuh 1989, 1992 ; and so forth), the uses of languages in constant contact will be presented through the exeplified uses of Croatian and Italian standard languages, as well as the Istrovenetian dialect used in informal domains among croatian-italian bilingual/plurilingual speakers attending italian educational institutions. Linguistic strategies and typological features of mixed-language uses will be discussed, according to frequent interference and code-switching modes characterizing the diglossic stratification as appeals for discursive strategies with clear and distinct interactive pragmatic functions.
