Any bilingual interaction involves language choice. It may depend on the sociolinguistic representations, which allow the speaker to relate his linguistic repertoire to his ethnic self-identification, insofar as he considers language an element of his personality and an index of belonging to a linguistic community. Sociolinguistic representations largely determine sociolinguistic attitudes, skills, habits, and the sociolinguistic consciousness. Particular attitudes and stereotypes affect the relationships between language groups, especially, when learning their languages.
