Students' awareness of the linguistic genre and roles of the literary language

Abstract

Obravnava identitetne vloge jezika v šoli in v njenem okviru različnih jezikovnih zvrsti je pri pouku slovenščine v zadnjih dvajsetih letih doživela le malo sprememb. Na podlagi jezikoslovnih ugotovitev o neskladju med uveljavljeno teorijo zvrstnosti in jezikovno prakso smo v anketi dijakom zastavili vprašanja, kako razumejo pojem knjižni jezik, kakšne so njihove izkušnje z njegovo rabo in v katerih govornih položajih je raba knjižnega jezika po njihovem mnenju nujna. Discussing the identity function of language as well as different language varieties in teaching Slovenian as first language has only changed slightly in the last two decades. Therefore, based on the linguistic discussions on the differences between prevailing language stratification theory and communicative practise, three main issues have been investigated, namely how do students understand the concept of standard language, what is their experience with using the standard language and finally, in which speaking situations is the use of a standard language necessary.
