Multiculturalism and Language Shift: A Subjective Vitality Questionnaire Study of Sydney Italians.
Gibbons, John; Ashcroft, Lyn
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v16 n4 p281-99 1995
Compares Subjective Vitality Questionnaire (SVQ) results of standard Italian and standard Greek in Australia to determine if the substantial difference in vitality between the languages is reflected in perceived vitality as measured by the SVQ. Results show that the perceived differences of Greek and Italian vitality are less than the real difference. (20 references) (Author/CK)
