English abstract
This study employs a range of up-to-date statistical information, including the findings of two nationwide surveys conducted on the author’s behalf, to evaluate
current perceptions of Slovak in the Czech Republic. It sheds new light on the changes that have occurred since 1989, and highlights the difficulty of determining the status of two geographically contiguous contact languages whose speakers’ identity is defined as much in terms of their shared (especially twentieth-century) political and historical experiences as in terms of their ethnocultural and linguistic differences.
