Apstrakt

Rad prevashodno ispituje stavove srpskih studenata na 4. i 5. godini studija Anglistike prema standardnom varijetetu britanskog engleskog, kao i njegovu poziciju u odnosu na standardni američki i australijski engleski. Cilj ovog rada jeste da utvrdi da li standardni britanski engleski i dalje predstavlja primarni model za izgovor engleskog jezika kod studenata anglistike, kao i da istraži da li postoji hijerarhija među standardnim varijetetima engleskog. U radu je korišćen upitnik sastavljen kombinovanjem sociolingvističke tehnike za utvrđivanje stereotipa (eng. matched-guise technique), Likertove skale i pitanja otvorenog tipa. Pitanja su se odnosila na prepoznavanje akcenta, procenu karakternih osobina govornika podeljenih na kategorije društvenog statusa i dopadljivosti. Rezultati pokazuju da studenti pozitivno reaguju na američki i britanski akcenat. Međutim, ovaj rad daje i sledeće neočekivane rezultate: standardni britanski engleski ocenjen je ne samo kao najprestižniji, već i kao najdopadljiviji akcenat. Ovakav rezultat odstupa od dosadašnjih istraživanja i ukazuje na to da, iako je američki engleski prisutniji u govoru ispitanika, britanski engleski i dalje predstavlja primarni model kada se radi o izgovoru engleskog jezika.
