Abstract

Native language education has a prominent role in shaping language awareness. In Subcarpathia, the native language has been taught in ethnic Hungarian schools with an additive attitude since 2005. In this study, based on two questionnaire surveys (2008 and 2018, respectively), I wish to present data concerning whether any changes have taken place since the native language education reform concerning the relationship of ethnic Hungarian students in Subcarpathia towards language dialects. According to statistical data and the opinions expressed, the young people asked in 2018 expressed their views in a more aware, positive, approving manner about non-standard variants than the participants of the 2008 survey. These changes are clearly due to the additive attitude having gained ground and the secondary school textbooks created with this attitude.
