Abstract
In the fields of linguisticts, controversies over definition of bilingualism have been emerging for many years. Until now, there is not single definition of bilingualism because the experts use different criteria to decide the definition of the term. This paper is a discussion on the definition of bilingualism, based on a survey which was distributed to 15 respondents who were college students in Australia and have been engaged to some levels of two language in their lives. Data collection was conducted to each of the participants by using a questionnaire. 15 scenarios taken from Hoffmann C. (1999) were stated in the questionnaire. Then, the participants ranked the senarios by how they describe the definition of bilingualism more accurately. The findings, then, were compared to description of term ‘bilingualism’based on the literature. The results from the participants show that the definition of bilingualism was based on the perspective of whether the speakers are children or adult. Furthermore, the findings indicate that bilingual competencies do not significantly influence the definition of bilingualism. Keywords: bilingualism, controversy, definition, perspective
