A: Coincidence between the group to which speakers belong and the desired group;
B: The desired group is more "Spanish" than that to which speakers belong;
C: The desired group is more "Catalan" than that to which speakers belong;

- Research into the increase in the Catalan-speaking group.

This research into the increase in the Catalan-speaking group by relating the group to which the subject belongs and the desired group (of reference) reveals that the percentage of speakers that could vary is 0.7%, if we subtract those that will switch to Spanish and those that will switch to Catalan.

Our research on the situation of the use of Catalan in the Balearic Islands and the variables influencing this use have, once again, confirmed conclusions that we believe can be extended to other contexts and languages (having already been confirmed in Catalonia and the Community of Valencia). Firstly, that the use of language is linked to different factors: as we have seen, the variable that correlates most with use in the Balearic Islands is the representation of the Spanish language, whereas, in Catalonia, it was the representation of the Catalan language and, in the Valencian Country, it was the social network of Catalan. Table 6 summarises the results of these three investigations using the same structure as we saw in Table 3.
