Sažetak
The paper presents the results of the research conducted with the aim of determining the understanding of dialectal words of the students of trading orientation. The field research was carried out in three classes of the secondary School of Commerce in Split and three classes of the Secondary School in Vrbovec.One hundred and fifty-three students filled in the questionnaires. Students at the Split school were offered one hundred words that are common in Prigorje and Slavonija, and in the Vrbovec school, students had to recognise one hundred words which are common in Dalmatia and Slavonija. The average number of familiar words was calculated in all classes, and in trying to establish a more realistic relationship between the recognised and unrecognised words, we also determined how many students had known each word and which words were understood by most students. By comparing the students’ answers, we also solved the research dilemma: whether students speak the Croatian language standard or their dialect prevails in their expression. The ability to express themselves was also determined. The analysis has undoubtedly shown that students mostly recognise a tiny number of words from other Croatian regions. However, it should be noted that the students of the Split School of Commerce on average identified almost three times more words than the students of Vrbovec Secondary School. The students of Vrbovec mainly use the language standard, while those from Split are more likely to respond in their dialect. The results of the research have shown that first- grade students have the best ability to express themselves. Due to the established insufficient knowledge of Croatian dialects and speeches, students of trade orientation, who often change the working environment due to the nature of the work, should have an increased number of teaching hours in the area of dialectology. In that way, they would overcome the shortcomings in communicating with people from different regions of Croatia. This change in the curriculum would also be useful for other service occupations. Due to the established state of dialect speaking of students in Dalmatia, the didactics of the Croatian standard language in the teaching of other subjects should be taken seriously.
