The Serbo-Croatian Accent in the Pronunciation of English Seen in the Light of the Monitor Theory
Višnja Josipović
Sažetak
This paper presents the results of research in which some basic notions of the Monitor Theory of adult second language performance were applied to the study of the Serbo-Croatian accent in the
pronunciatíon of English. A methodology was devised for the numerical expression of the degree of monitoring in foreign language performance, and a corrclation was established between this degree
of monitoring and the subjects' success in particular phonostylistic registers. The greater the degree of monitoring, the greater the difference in the success of English pronunciation turned out to be
between formal and informal Styles in favour of the former. 'lhus subjects with a greater inclination towards monitoring pronounced English much better when reading a test passage than they did in an
informal interview. Conversely, subjects with a low degree of monitoring pronounced English considerably better in informal style.
