- Abstract
This paper contrasts the practices of interpreting and implementing official documents that regulate multilingual policies in Vojvodina (Autonomous Province of Serbia) to the experience of multilingualism in everyday situations. The issues of multilingualism on paper as opposed to everyday life are discussed within the framework of multiculturalism from a methodological perspective of social anthropology. The main topics of the research deal with minority-majority interactions. Without the ambition to systematically investigate multilingual practices, the author's aim is to point out certain ambiguities and shortcomings of regulating official language use in a multicultural setting such as Vojvodina. The general goal of the research is thus to make a link between the empirical cases of multilingual policy-making and the theoretical concept of multiculturalism.
