Journal Title: Jaunųjų mokslininkų darbai - Year 2014, Vol 42, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the article is to provide the reader with the information about the use of dialects and the standard Slovak language in the central territory of the Slovak republic and to create an overview of the linguistic situation. The main aim was to deal with dialects and the literary Slovak elements used in both written and oral communication. The empirical part is based on using a standardized questionnaire which comprises one of the possible means of sociological research methods. The questionnaire (www.tarmes.lt, Aliūkaitė, Kačiuškienė ir kt., 2013) was aimed at students from the Department of European Cultural Studies in the Faculty of Humanities at Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica and at a population of older people. The first research group included young people aged 20 years old and younger. The research in the second group was carried out among respondents aged 30 to 62. All respondents who filled in the questionnaires were 100% of Slovak origin. To conclude, it is more or less evident that the majority of respondents use the standard language in all forms of communication. There was only a small percentage of those who prefer speaking dialects. However, what we consider as mostly important is the fact that the respondents consider the person using a dialect not as backward but as patriotic in expressing his/her local/regional identity. The overall data shows that there truly is a tendency to use the standard language in spoken or written communication and this type is preferred to using dialects which means that dialects are used mostly in specific areas delimited territorially. Key words: Slovak language, sociological research, dialects, standard language, identity.
