Sažetak
The objective of this sociolinguistic research was to shed light on the attitudes of parents and future parents (N=3512) regarding the language learning desirability during their children/future children elementary school education, with particular reference to the Italian language learning, given the importance of Italian as the language of the social environment in the Istrian County, an institutionally bilingual County (where the Croatian-Italian bilingualism is recognized de iure and de facto realized). The results show that the English language is the most intensely desired language, according to its communication prestige. In contrast to the rest of Croatia (Mardesic 2010, Mihaljevic Djigunovic and Kovacic 1996), the Italian language in the Istrian County occupies the second place according to the criterion of desirability, primarily as a pragmatic resource which brings instrumental advantages, as confirmed in other previous studies (Scotti Jurić and Ambrosi Randić 2010). However, at the integrative level, the Croatian-Italian bilingualism is an indispensable constituent of the Istrian identity, in line with the promotion and development of linguistic pluralism and multiculturalism. The results confirm a high level of sociolinguistic and sociocultural awareness of parents / future parents in terms of the multilingual fostering of younger generations and the significance of the Italian language as the language of the social environment.
