Abstract

Kurikularna reforma hrvatskog školstva nije zaobišla ni klasične jezike. Glavna je karakteristika novog kurikuluma za grčki jezik to što kao središnji ishod postavlja razumijevanje teksta, što znači da učenike treba čim bolje pripremiti za susret s izvornim tekstom. Stoga nas zanima kakav je odnos stvarnog jezičnog stanja i nastave. U ovom se radu ispituje mogućnost stvaranja kurikuluma nastave grčkog jezika temeljenog na frekvencijskoj analizi korpusa. Najprije se ispituje prati li aktualni kurikulum za grčki jezik, donesen 2019. godine, učestalost oblika u grčkom jeziku, odnosno daje li se prednost onim oblicima koji se najčešće pojavljuju. Utvrđeno je da situacija u kurikulumu nije takva, već da se kurikulum zasniva na tradicionalnim gramatikama te da gramatičke sadržaje obrađuje tako da grupira one oblike koji se slično tvore, najprije obrađujući najjednostavnije oblike. Zatim je u radu prikazana analiza korpusa tekstova iz Čitanke za Grčku morfologiju 1. Opisuju se struktura, izvlačenje i statistička obradba podataka, a rezultati se uspoređuju s rezultatima sličnih istraživanja (Mahoney, 2004. i Major 2008.). Na kraju se na temelju našeg istraživanja opisuju glavne karakteristike kurikuluma koji prati učestalost oblika.

Abstract (english)

The classical languages have been affected by the curricular reform in Croatia. The new Ancient Greek language curriculum sets text comprehension as its main goal, which means that students should be better prepared for reading original texts. In that context, we want to study the relation between the real state of the Ancient Greek, as attested by its texts, and its teaching in schools. In this paper we examine the possibility of creating a curriculum for Ancient Greek based on corpus frequency analysis. We first examine whether the current curriculum, introduced in 2019, is based on the frequency of forms in Ancient Greek or not. In other words, we are trying to see if it prepares the students to read texts by favouring those linguistic forms that occur more frequently. We have determined that the current curriculum is not based on frequency of forms, but rather on traditional grammars and that it groups together forms with similar word-formation or inflection rules, teaching first what is regarded as simplest. Then we analyse a corpus of texts from The Reader for Greek Morphology 1, prepared at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. We describe the structure, extraction and the statistical analysis of the data and compare the results with those of similar studies (Mahoney, 2004 and Major, 2008). In the end, we describe the main features of a frequency-based curriculum according to the results of our analysis.
