Sažetak
This paper analyzes socio-linguistic processes that influence stability in the use of the mother tongue among linguistic-specific minorities. Discussion centres on the stability of linguistic domains and on relative language dominance in multilingual settings. The goal is to emphasize that the process of gradual loss of the mother tongue affects the linguistic reality of workers temporarily employed abroad. Loss of the mother tongue or its reduction creates great difficulties with regard to the return of migrant children to the countries of their parents' origin.
