The phenomenon of migration is a universal and historically longstanding. A wide range of research approaches have been applied to its study. In this paper, the issue of migration and minority studies is reflected from the positions of interdisciplinary discourse following the research results on Slovak minorities in the Central and South-Eastern Europe countries. During the 18th and 19th century colonists of various nationalities settled on the Danube-Pannonian plain. Slovak emigrants were also represented among them, grouped in two dozen linguistic islands or ethnic enclaves. After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary (1918), in the successor states of Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia, the ethnic inhabitants were granted the status of national minorities. Various theoretical and conceptual approaches have been applied in the study of these Slovak minorities. Of these, the most progressive have proved to be concepts that have considered the processuality in the ethno-cultural development of enclaves or minorities. That is, concepts in which the focus was on the implications of the operation effects of continuous and discontinuous trends in the form of persistence and change, tradition and innovation, acceptance and rejection, resistance and confluence of minority members incorporated into other ethnic groups.
