This article investigates the ways the Macedonian language is acquired and used by Albanians in a situation of bilingualism in the multilingual municipality of Struga (North Macedonia). The goal is to discover sociolinguistic factors triggering the use of Macedonian by Albanians in Struga and nearby villages as well as the patterns between types of contact situations and interlocutors on the one hand, and choice of the language on the other. The main source of the material analyzed consists of questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and narratives elicited by means of the picture tasks collected during field work in 2020–2022, which made it possible to use qualitative and quantitative research methods.
