Utjecaj sociolingvističkih odstupanja na procjenu izgovora neizvornih govornika hrvatskoga jezika
The influence of sociolinguistic deviations on the assessment of the pronunciation of non-native Croatian language speakers

Summary/Abstract: This research will try to describe the impact of sociolinguistic deviations (inadequate expressions, grammatical and lexical deviations) on evaluation of pronunciation. It is assumed that in the assessment of pronunciation cannot be separated or completely ignored sociolinguistic deviations and that is due to them pronunciation of some speakers evaluated worse. In previous studies it is shown that the evaluators of foreign pronunciations (native speakers of Croatian language) are very strict. Especially in evaluation of the quality of pronunciation for some professions such as doctors and teachers. They are more tolerant toward pronunciation in the services sector and very tolerant toward pronunciation of foreign students who are studying programs on the Croatian language. In the literature we find similar data for other languages – Slovenian evaluators are also very strict to foreign pronunciation of Slovenian as L2. For the purposes of this paper the recorded speech of non‐native speakers will be transcribed and analyzed.
