“…In this context, studies from the field of educational science that deal with specific educational institutions have to be mentioned (Busch, 2010;Gombos, 2003Gombos, , 2007Minnich, 1988;Purkarthofer, 2016). Of similar importance is the research on multilingual spaces that deal with language acquisition processes of the Slovene language in schools in Carinthia and their preconditions (Gombos, 2019;Vrbinc, 2019) or which provide insights into language use and linguistic practices in bilingual schools (Peterlini, 2019;Zorčič, 2019). Additionally, studies that examine the influence of church, media, and local administration in the southern Carinthian region on socialisation processes of Slovene-speaking adolescents (Busch, 1999;Kogoj, 1997;Moritsch, 1991;Wieser, 2014) also contribute to the understanding of the Slovene-speaking population.…”
