V današnjem času zaradi globalizacije občutimo velik pritisk besed, ki prihajajo v slovenščino iz tujih jezikov, predvsem iz angleščine. Že prej si je morala slovenščina ustvariti svoj prostor med ...jeziki z veliko več govorci. Danes se ob hitrem razvoju tehnologije in nastajanju novih ved pojavljajo novi globalni izrazi, za katere težko najdemo domače ustreznice, preden se uveljavijo tuje besede. Mnogi odrasli ne dohajajo hitrega širjenja informacij in ne razumejo najbolje novega besedišča, ki se uveljavlja na spletnih straneh in družbenih omrežjih. Razumejo kontekst, v katerem se izraz pojavi, vendar ne poznajo njegovega natančnega pomena. V skrbi za svoj jezik bi se morali kljub močnim pritiskom globalizacije več izražati s slovenskimi izrazi, ki so Slovencem še vedno najbolj razumljivi.
Čeprav študij Italijanskega jezika in književnosti na FF Univerze v Ljubljani v splošnem ne predvideva zgolj učenja modernega italijanskega jezika, saj je, kot že njegovo ime pove, zastavljen ...širše, bo prispevek prikazal nekaj glavnih izsledkov testiranja splošnega znanja italijanskega jezika, ki se je izvajal v vseh štirih letnikih: gre za izsledke na področju bralnega in slušnega razumevanja ter uporabe slovničnih in leksikalnih struktur. Testiranje s testnimi kompleti CILS je potekalo kot del projekta, ki je nastal v okviru bilateralne pogodbe med italijanistikama v Ljubljani in Beogradu in se pričel izvajati konec študijskega leta 2009/2010 s prvim krogom testiranj (ostala dva sledita v naslednjih dveh letih). Prispevek se osredotoča na to, ali študenti dosegajo ustrezno raven znanja, ki smo jo v projektu predvideli oz. ocenili kot primerno za vsakega od štirih letnikov, in skuša odgovoriti na vprašanje, koliko študij prispeva k splošnemu znanju moderne italijanščine.
Language development in toddlerhood & early childhood progresses very quickly, while individual developmental phases are the same irrespective of the language the child is acquiring. The aim of this ...longitudinal study was to examine the characteristics of children's language comprehension & expression, & their pragmatic use of language, as well as to determine the developmental language changes that occur between the ages of three & four. The sample involved 80 randomly selected children, 39 girls & 41 boys, whose average age at the first evaluation was 3,1 years & at the second 4,1 years. The research also involved the mothers & teachers of the children included in the sample. The children's language comprehension & expression were determined using a Language Development Scale, & their pragmatic use of language was assessed through testing their storytelling abilities. Their language competence was also evaluated by their teachers & mothers. The results highlight significant differences between three- & four-year-olds as shown by the Language Development Scale & by their storytelling abilities, as well as in the evaluations by their teachers & mothers. Among three-year-olds, stories at the 2nd level of coherence prevailed, i.e., containing simple descriptions of people, objects or illustrations, whereas four-year-olds most often told stories at the 3rd level, i.e., containing a simple temporal stringing together of events. The child's gender had no significant effect on development between the age of three & four. In interpreting the results, we drew upon the findings of both Slovenian & foreign authors relating to different aspects of language development in toddlers & young children. Figures, References.
