Are dialects still alive? Selected aspects of children’s talk in relation to dialects
Original language description
The aim of this paper is to introduce the analysis of data collected in field research which focuses mainly on the dialectal elements in spoken discourse of preschool children and also on children’s neologisms originating in “kopaničářská nářečí” [Kopanice dialects], the varieties belonging to a group of East-Moravian dialects which are spoken in two Moravian villages. The purpose of the field research was to determine whether the traditional dialect is still a living part of their language. The research is based on contrasting collected answers and data from Český jazykový atlas [Atlas of the Czech Language], edited by Jan Balhar and Pavel Jančák. The results suggested that not only the traditional local dialect is still alive in the region, but that local people also produce new variants of forms. These local neologisms are commonly used, and they seem to have almost replaced the original forms. As this field research focused on the preschool children, the majority of new forms seems to be children’s neologisms with dialectal features. Among other things, these children’s word formations show how existing patterns in the lexicon are used in the present-day Czech language.
