Abstract
Defining the terms bilingualism and multilingualism poses a complex challenge, as researchers consider various factors when defining each. This study aimed to explore how native Croatian speakers perceive these concepts. The questionnaire comprised two parts. Firstly, it collected general information about the participants and their self-perceived bilingual or multilingual status. In the second part, participants were asked to determine whether individuals portrayed in various scenarios could be classified as bilingual or multilingual. The findings revealed that the majority of participants identified themselves as bilingual and less than half of them as multilingual. Proficiency emerged as the primary criterion for classifying individuals as either bilingual or multilingual. Notably, this study is the first of a kind to investigate the perception of bilingualism and multilingualism in Croatia on such a large scale, making its results a valuable resource for future research in this field.
Abstract (croatian)
Definiranje pojmova "dvojezičnost" i "višejezičnost" predstavlja složen izazov jer istraživači uzimaju u obzir različite čimbenike pri njihovom definiranju. Ovo istraživanje imalo je za cilj istražiti kako izvorni govornici hrvatskog percipiraju te pojmove. Upitnik se sastojao od dva dijela. U prvom dijelu prikupili smo opće informacije o sudionicima i njihovom samopercipiranom dvojezičnom ili višejezičnom statusu. U drugom dijelu sudionici su imali zadatak odrediti mogu li se pojedinci predstavljeni u različitim scenarijima klasificirati kao dvojezični ili višejezični. Rezultati su otkrili da se većina sudionika izjasnila kao dvojezična, a manje od polovice njih klasificiralo se kao višejezično. Visoka razina jezične sposobnosti pokazala se kao primarni kriterij za klasificiranje pojedinaca kao dvojezičnih ili višejezičnih. Ovo istraživanje predstavlja prvo istraživanje takve vrste koje u tako velikom opsegu istražuje percepciju dvojezičnosti i višejezičnosti u Hrvatskoj, što ove rezultate čini vrijednim izvorom za buduća istraživanja u ovom području.
