本研究的目的是考察20世纪90年代匈牙利发生的重大社会文化变化如何影响学童对英语、德语、法语、意大利语和俄语这五种目标语言的语言态度和语言学习动机。这些分析基于1993年和1999年两次从8,593名13/14岁学生那里收集的调查数据。除了调查和比较与五种目标语言学习有关的一些动机方面，重复测量设计还允许我们探索在调查的两个阶段中学习者动机的变化。一个意想不到但可能很重要的发现是，在调查期间，学习者的总体语言学习承诺显著下降，只有英语保持了这一地位。这可以被看作是一个更普遍的“语言全球化”过程的反映，在这个过程中，对世界语言(即英语)和其他外语的学习显示出一种日益偏离的动机模式。
The purpose of this study is to examine how the significant sociocultural changes that took place in Hungary in the 1990s affected school children's language-related attitudes and language learning motivation concerning five target languages, English, German, French, Italian, and Russian. The analyses are based on survey data collected from 8,593 13/14-year-old pupils on two occasions, in 1993 and 1999. Besides investigating and comparing a number of motivational aspects with regard to the learning of the five target languages, the repeated measure design also allowed us to explore the changes that characterized the learners' motivation between the two phases of the survey. An unexpected but potentially important finding was that during the examined period the learners' general language learning commitment showed a significant decline, with only English maintaining its position. This can be seen as a reflection of a more general 'language globalization' process, whereby the study of the world language (i.e. English) and that of other foreign languages show an increasingly deviating motivational pattern.
