Abstract: The ethnic composition of the population of some towns in southern Slovakia (Komárom, Vágsellye, Érsekújvár), and in this context their language use and linguistic landscape have been constantly changing in recent decades. The purpose of the research that forms the basis of the presentation is to map the bilingualism of the selected cities. The research is based on data obtained through field work. The method of data collection is a questionnaire survey, during which sociolinguistic, sociological and socio-psychological variables are the subject of the investigation. We are primarily looking for an answer to the question of what characterizes the use of the Hungarian and Slovak languages by bilingual speaking communities in private and public arenas, and their attitudes towards these languages.

Keywords: bilingualism, ethnically and linguistically mixed area, questionnaire survey, mother tongue and nationality, identity, language use arena
