Sažetak
The aim of this paper was to show what kind of attitudes against several statements about a foreign language i.e. foreign languages were in groups of schizophrenic and depressed patients and also in a group of helthy individuals ; the importance and understanding were particulary sought in these groups. Both 25 random schizophrenic and depressed outpatients such as 25 random healthy persons were included in this research. During December 2010 and during January 2011 the outpatients with very good psychic remision came at their regular controls. At same time healthy persons were found at various places of Rijeka. One short questionaire was used in this research. It contained 5 questions contacted with 5 statements of the importance and understanding of knowledge of a foreign language i.e. foreign languages. Answers were YES or NO. As well queiried persons had to add in the questionaire their own adequately social and demographic facts. All persons were queried in the condition of voluntary and anonymity. About 27% of all queried persons are agreed with the statement that our society somemore respects individuals who use one foreign language or foreign languages except their the mother- tongue. It is particulary seen in the group of schizophrenic and depressed females patients (85% i.e.81%). Instead of the conclusion is for the discussion if females of various cathegories are able to become still awared of any more importance of knowledge of a foreign language i.e. foreign languages because they seek for them some more respect and so less stigmatisation, too. Also they could be become awared of of their linguistic flexibility what is welcome in the today's society of differences.
