20 Jahre Forschungsschwerpunkt „Mehrsprachigkeit in Kärnten (und darüber hinaus)“

The use of Slovene in Carinthia has not yet been duly described in the linguistic literature. In this article the attempt is made to partly fill this gap by presenting results from research projects that have focussed on different aspects of this language use. Both examples of spoken language and of attitudes toward the use of Slovene are presented. The article also aims at an overview of research on multilingualism conducted at the Slavic department of the University of Klagenfurt.
