O pragmatyzmie językowym w Szwajcarii w kontekście języka angielskiego: perspektywa makro-socjolingwistyczna

By adopting the macrolevel approach of both social and linguistic analysis, I intend to explore the problem of language attitudes and language choice at the interface of society and language. The issues connected with language behaviour, i.e. attitudes and reactions of the Swiss towards English, now seem to be ripe for a more detailed study. To this end I have carried out a research that examines the use of English in Switzerland from a multilingual perspective based on a corpus of 400 interviews collected in the German speaking canton of Zurich.
