Sažetak
Different variations of the realizations of language as a system are called varieties. This is a sociolinguistic term which includes factors within the language as well as those factors outside the language (time, surroundings, age, sex, situation...). There are four basic levels of varieties: diachronic (temporal stratification), diatopic (spatial stratification), diastratic (social stratification) and diaphasic (functional stratification) (Dittmar, 1997 ; Milroy & Milroy, 2000 ; Mićanović, 2008). In this paper changes in the Croatian language will be studied as diastratic varieties and as diaphasic varieties. The corpus will consist of a situational and age-determined language of adolescents, analysed on the lexical and grammatical levels. This sociolect has been changing markedly under the influence of two facts: the first one refers to the communication of the “global teenagers” in the electronic media (mobile phones, internet, chats) and the other one to the influence of the English language which, as a lingua franca, has been penetrating into the communication of the younger generations. The participants of this research were pupils from Croatian elementary and high schools (N = 300) aged 12–17. The data were collected by means of a symptomatic questionnaire (of Internet portals and mobile phones), in a field action research and through pedagogical observation. The data were analysed with SPSS statistical software using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Hi-square test. The aim of the research was to find out whether the undeniably high level of transfer from the English language will have a damaging effect on the Croatian lexical system. Moreover, we aimed to establish whether in this omnipresent electronic communication we are dealing only with the stylisation of the communicative process or with the changes which influence the creation of the new linguistic discourse.
