This paper provides a survey of the complex linguistic and social situation created in Switzerland by the interaction between French‐speaking and German‐dialect‐speaking groups along the country's language frontier. The “territorial principle” which governs language use in Switzerland is explained and the organization of education in each of the three main bilingual areas is briefly examined. The main part of the paper then proceeds to an analysis of a series of detailed interviews and of replies to questionnaires used with selected students in a number of the senior secondary schools in the main cities lying on the language frontier
