The Relation between Linguistic Context, Behaviour and Competence: The Second Generation of Castilian-Speaking Immigrants in Non-Metropolitan Catalonia

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
A study of the process of bilingualization of
second-generation immigrants to Catalonia, a region of Spain, is
described and summarized. The study looks at the interrelationships
between (1) linguistic context, all sources of messages in natural
speech; (2) linguistic behavior, the real communicative use the
individual makes of his expressive faculties in the language; and (3)
linguistic competence, the combination of knowledge and capacity
allowing the individual to undevstand and utter messages in the
language. These variables are examined as they relate to the
acquisition of Catalan by Castilian-speaking immigrants' children.
The report begins with a general geographic and demographic
background and a description of the study's design. The second
chapter presents information on the demography and the three
linguistic variables examined in the town under study. The third and
fourth chapters present analyses of the relationships between the
three variables. The fifth chapter outlines the study's conclusions
and observations. A bibliography, the data-collection instruments,
notes on oral and written responses to the tests ilsed, and extensive
statistical tables are appended.
