Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to investigate and describe language views and attitudes towards anglicisms in Croatian present among Croatian university students. The investigation is done through a sociolinguistic interview, and it attempts to characterise ideologies as well as the factors which have had the most influence in their formation. The interview consists of direct questions, a poll and analysis of newspaper articles. The results indicate that different types of language approaches and attitudes are present among Croatian university students. No matter how different their opinions may be, all participants agree on the fact that anglicisms have become inevitable in the Croatian language.

Abstract (croatian)

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je istražiti i opisati stavove i mišljenja o anglizmima u hrvatskom jeziku koji su korišteni među hrvatskim sveučilišnim studentima. Istraživanje se provodi putem sociolingvističkog intervjua, te pokušava opisati ideologije i čimbenike koji su najviše utjecali na formaciju istih. Intervju se sastoji od izravnih pitanja, ankete i analize novinskih članaka. Rezultati ukazuju da postoje različite vrste pristupa i stavova prema jeziku među hrvatskim sveučilišnim studentima. Bez obzira na različitost mišljenja, svi sudionici se slažu s činjenicom da su anglicizmi postali neizbježni u hrvatskom jeziku.
