Abstract Vojvodina, an autonomous province in northern Serbia, is a historically multilingual and multicultural area where multilingual education forms a cornerstone of linguistic, educational and social policy and practice: in addition to the majority language, five minority languages are also in official use and speakers of these languages may receive education in their L1. However, such a situation does not warrant positive attitudes toward the majority language. In fact, attitudes toward the majority population have been shown to be less positive among minority group members who receive their education in their L1 ( Veres 2013 ). In addition to this, the effect of environment (compact vs. diffuse) has been shown to interact with attitudes. The paper examines the language attitudes of 423 Hungarian L1 grammar school pupils towards (1) their (minority) mother tongue (Hungarian), (2) Serbian as the majority language and (3) English as a foreign language, based on their value judgements and taking into account numerous variables which might prove to interact with their attitudes. The results of the research are expected to add to the study of language attitudes in a multilingual context, to help us understand better language situations in areas where bilingualism is promoted and to aid the implementation of coherent language policies.

对少数族裔、多数族裔和外语的态度差异的来源

摘要 伏伊伏丁那是塞尔维亚北部的一个自治省，历史上是一个多语言和多文化地区，多语言教育构成了语言、教育和社会政策和实践的基石：除了多数语言之外，官方还使用五种少数民族语言，并使用多种语言。这些语言中的一部分可能会在他们的 L1 中接受教育。然而，这种情况并不能保证对多数语言的积极态度。事实上，在接受 L1 教育的少数群体成员中，对多数群体的态度已被证明不太积极（Veres 2013）。除此之外，环境的影响（紧凑与分散）已被证明与态度相互作用。本文根据他们的价值判断，考察了 423 名匈牙利 L1 文法学校学生对（1）他们的（少数民族）母语（匈牙利语）、（2）塞尔维亚语作为主要语言和（3）英语作为外语的语言态度并考虑到许多可能与他们的态度相互作用的变量。预计研究结果将增加对多语言环境中语言态度的研究，帮助我们更好地了解双语推广地区的语言情况，并帮助实施连贯的语言政策。
