Preservation of dialectal features in the language of primary-school-age children in the Stubica-Oroslavje-Marija Bistrica area of Croatian Zagorje
Marina Marinković
Sažetak
The paper presents the results of a 2024 study conducted as part of the Kajkaš KAJ? project. The participants were students of 5 primary schools in the Stubica-Oroslavje-Marija Bistrica area of Croatian Zagorje, and the main goal was to determine the extent to which primary-schoolage children use their dialect in everyday speech, as well as how much they are influenced by standard Croatian and/or substandard varieties. The study was conducted by means of a questionnaire designed for the purposes of the study. Among youngest participants, the results of the analysis of selected variables show that their dialect is most preserved at the lexical and least at the morphological level. Such results can be explained by several factors: research methodology, students’ perception of lexis as the most salient linguistic level with respect to differences from the standard, etc. In addition to presenting initial and preliminary results of the first stage of the study, the paper also describes certain methodological issues to be addressed in subsequent stages of the project.
