A nyelvjárási tudat fejlesztésének útjain I. Nyugat-dunántúli középiskolások nyelvjárási tudata

Abstract

The present paper is the first part of a questionnaire-based study on the dialect-related knowledge, experiences, and attitudes of nearly 200 secondary school and technical school students. Results show that, although senior students have slightly more and more systematic knowledge of the issue compared to ninth-grade students, the respondents overall have vague and, in most cases, stereotypical knowledge and attitudes in this area. The research also provides information on (self-reflectively communicated) regional linguistic specificities in the language use of the students surveyed, which for many have already caused unpleasant experiences and even disadvantages. Based on the results, a series of exercises promoting the development of linguistic awareness, not only among the learners in the region under study, has been developed and is presented in the second part of this study (in the Workshop section of this issue of the journal).
