The entry presents the main theoretical and methodological ideas about the phenomenon of social differentiation of the domains of language use and its relationship to bilingualism in various types of language situations in the Slavic area and involving Slavic languages in diaspora. The first part is devoted to the general theoretical assumptions about diglossia and the modifications that this concept has undergone over the course of several decades, with particular emphasis on the proposals of Charles Ferguson and Joshua Fishman. The second part presents changes and additions proposed as part of the adaptation of the general theory to the material of Slavic languages, which shed new light on the understanding of classical concepts. The last part includes an overview of the situation of diglossia involving Slavic languages from a historical and contemporary perspective, as well as the main research trends and perspectives used in them.
