?:abstract
  • Within the past half century multinational survey programmes have become indispensable for research and policy purposes. Methodologically, cross-national survey research is confronted by the same challenges as any national survey but, in addition, it has to cope with the problem of equivalence of meaning in designing questionnaires for use across the populations of different countries. In order to explore how these particular issues are dealt with in the design of language proficiency questions in a multinational survey, the example of the Eurobarometer (EB) is examined in detail in this chapter. The discussion begins with a short review of the historical background of the EB. This is followed by a detailed review of the questions relating to language proficiency that have been included in EB surveys. The empirical findings relating to Irish in the three most relevant EB surveys are then presented to show how changes in the wording and form of the question affected the replies given by respondents. The next two sections then compare the findings of the EB, as an international survey, with comparable data from national sources. The chapter ends with a concluding discussion of the main points to emerge from the analysis. (xsd:string)
