Abstract

Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Spracherwerb und Einstellungen zur mehrsprachigen Erziehung von Kindern in Sprachbiografien kroatischer Arbeitsmigranten in Deutschland. Die Daten wurden in Form von Interviews mit Informanten gesammelt. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in zwei Teile – der erste Teil befasst sich sowohl mit dem theoretischen Hintergrund von Mehrsprachigkeit und ihrer Formen, als auch mit den Sprachbiografien und grenzüberschreitendem Verhalten der ausgewanderten Familien. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit ist empirisch – die Daten aus den Interviews werden erarbeitet, zusammengefasst und letztendlich verglichen. Das Ziel der Arbeit ist es, einen Einblick in die Leben kroatischer Arbeitsmigranten in Deutschland zu geben. Es ist bemerkenswert, wie sich Kinder in einem zwei- oder mehrsprachigem Milieu zurechtfinden, aber auch wie die Erziehungsentscheidungen der Eltern eine wichtige Rolle dabei spielen. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass die Kinder später anfangen zu sprechen, im Gegensatz zu Gleichaltrigen. Deutsch wollen sie nicht sprechen, obwohl sie die Sprache beherrschen. Manchmal vermischen sie auch die Sprachen. Die Rolle der Eltern in der Unterstützung scheint nicht von großer Rolle zu sein, denn die Kinder trennen streng wo, wann und mit wem sie Deutsch, bzw. Kroatisch sprechen.

Abstract (english)

This master's thesis deals with language acquisition and attitudes towards multilingual upbringing of children in language biographies of Croatian migrant workers in Germany. The data was collected in form of interviews with informants. The work is divided into two parts - the first part deals with the theoretical background of multilingualism and its forms, as well as language biographies and cross-border tendencies of the emigrated families. The second part of the work is empirical - the data from the interviews is elaborated, summarized, and finally compared. The aim of the work is to give an insight into the lives of Croatian migrant workers in Germany. It is remarkable how children find their way in a bilingual or multilingual environment, but also how the parenting decisions of the parents play an important role in this. It was found that children learn to speak at a later age as opposed to their peers, they mostly don't want to speak German, although they know the language. They also mix between German and Croatian sometimes. The role of the parents in supporting them does not seem to play a major role, because the children strictly separate where, when and to whom they speak German or Croatian with.

Abstract (croatian)

Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se usvajanjem jezika i stavovima prema višejezičnom odgoju djece u jezičnim biografijama hrvatskih radnih migranata u Njemačkoj. Podaci su prikupljeni u obliku intervjua. Rad je podijeljen u dva dijela – prvi se bavi teoretskom pozadinom višejezičnosti i njezinim oblicima, te jezičnim biografijama i prekograničnim tendencijama iseljenih obitelji. Drugi dio rada je empirijski - podaci iz intervjua se obrađuju, sažimaju i na kraju uspoređuju. Cilj rada je dati uvid u život hrvatskih radnih migranata u Njemačkoj, odnosno kako se djeca snalaze u dvojezičnom ili višejezičnom okruženju, ali i kako odgojne odluke roditelja u tome igraju važnu ulogu. Utvrđeno je da djeca, za razliku od svojih vršnjaka, kasnije počnu govoriti te ponekad ne žele govoriti njemački jezik, iako su ga savladali. Ponekad miješaju i jezike te se čini da podrška roditelja ne igra veliku ulogu, jer djeca strogo odvajaju gdje, kada i s kime govore njemački, odnosno hrvatski jezik.
