Speakers in Contact – Acquired and Learned Language in the Same Society

Zrinka JELASKA

Abstract

The text discusses the differences between collocutors in the
same society deriving from the way they mastered the
language – by acquisition or learning. Since Croatian society
is an example of a small linguistic environment rather
unaware of all the difficulties of multilingualism, the main
characteristics of acquisition versus learning are presented.
For the benefit of a healthy linguistic environment it is
proposed that this information be the foundation for mutual
communication with non-native speakers.
