Summary/Abstract: In this paper, narratives of the Szigetcsép Serbs on interethnic marriages were analyzed. The narratives were extracted from the interviews that were conducted during the anthropolinguistic fieldwork in Szigetcsép, Hungary. Since the Second World War, the Serbs in Hungary have had a very high exogamy rate. Hence, the issue of interethnic marriages turned out to be a subject of constant negotiation, internal dialogism, and ideological dispute. Based on the analysis of two personal experience narratives, the paper attempted to illustrate how interlocutors from Szigetcsép construct internal dialogism, orient themselves and express their points of view with regard to interethnic marriages.
