O hrvatsko-talijanskoj dvojezičnosti u Istri i ishodima jezične doticajnosti

The paper presents the results of a sociolinguistic qualititative (general and introductory) research conducted through a semi-structured inteview on the sample of six stereotypical types of respondents (42 residents of seven cities of the Istria County). The objective of the survey was to establish and examine the attitudes of the research partecipants towards bilingualism as a general phenomenon (in an ideal/idealized sense), towards the concrete phenomenon of the Croatian-Italian bilingualism in Istria and towards the outcomes of language contact. Bilin- gualism as a general phenomenon elicited positive attitudes among almost all the respondents. However, only the ideal/idealized bilingualism was associated with connotations of perfection and unconditional desirability, while its practical and real application in most cases arose stigmatized opinions. Therefore, it is interesting to note the fact that markedly favorable attitudes towards the general phenomenon of bilingualism do not necessarily imply also positive attitudes towards the Croatian-Italian bilingualism in Istria and towards the outcomes of language contact.
