Sažetak
Graffiti are no invention of the present times. Still, nowadays they have become so popular that they have incited socio-linguistic researches. 833 graffiti collected in the city area and in some nearby places from Trogir to Omiš have been listed and classified according to themes (contents, messages) and language. As the subject matter was collected twice, the comparison between the two generations of graffiti shows certain differences both in contents and idiom. The changes in the frequency from the first (1988) to the second (1990) generation are particularly significant.
Namely, in 1990 the percentage in the group of pop music and sport was greatly reduced since 1988, but that in politics and sociology almost doubled. This was, certainly, due to the basic changes in political conditions in 1989 an 1990. It is symptomatic that in some groups (e. g. 4) in 1988 not a single graffito (abortion) was registered, while in 1990 there were 7 % of them represented; the incerease in narcothemes is exceptionally disturbing from 1,7 % in 1988 to 4 % in 1990. Very characteristic are the changes in the idiom of these two generations of Split graffiti: in relation to the increase in the politico-social themes and tensions the Croatian linguistic With a generally relative decrease in the percentage of graffiti with the pop-music themes written in English dropped from 52.9 % to 19, 1 %, and those in the Italian and other languages became thoroughly neglected. The Croatian forms are written in Latin characters. The authors of the graffiti are mostly in the standard language with relatively few cases of dialectal expressions, mostly the itavian verison of »jat«. All these graffiti are most often pupils and (younger) students using most frequently motorSplit graffiti with a subjective collection made by D. Andrić shows to have very little in common.
