| Abstract |
In a study of the complex relationships between multiethnic minorities and a national culture, linguistic policy affecting seven different ethnic groups of Croats living in the Republic of Hungary is explored based on 1987 field research and a 1990 survey. The standard language overcomes provincialities, is economically efficient and symbolically valuable. Homogenization, however, of a national culture is feared when a standard Croatian language in education and government is imposed.. Factors involved in implementing a standard language are considered. |
