Sažetak
Spontaneous spoken language, as well as written language, of adult speakers of Croatian language has not been compared often. Therefore, the characteristics of these two forms of language production have also not been explored. The distribution, i.e. the presence of particular lexical, morphological, syntactic, semantic, etc. characteristics in spoken and written language gives us information about the complexity of these two modalities of language production, and also provides insight into characteristics of language production of adult speakers of Croatian language. The aim of the talk is to present and compare lexical and syntactic features of spontaneous spoken and written language. For this reason, features and differences in lexical diversity, lexical density and the distribution of parts of speech, as well as one measure of syntactic complexity have been explored. The samples of spoken and written language have been taken over from the Croatian Adult Spoken Language Corpus (HrAl) and Croatian Corpus of Non-professional Written Language (HKNPJ). The results suggest that lexical diversity of written language is significantly higher than lexical diversity of spoken language and that there are differences in the distribution of parts of speech.
