Abstract

Pripovijedanje je sposobnost koja se razvija cijeli život. Narativnom analizom pripovjednog diskursa možemo dobiti pregršt informacija o jezičnim sposobnostima pojedinaca. Djeca su kroz aktivnosti zajedničkog čitanja već od rane dobi izložena različitim jezičnim strukturama te bogatom rječniku. Mnoga su istraživanja pokazala kako djeca kojima se više čita imaju bolje pripovjedne vještine, no ta je poveznica slabo istražena u odrasloj dobi. Cilj je ovog rada bio analizirati i opisati pripovjedne sposobnosti, odnosno mikrostrukturu pripovjednog diskursa te navike čitanja odraslih osoba urednog jezičnog statusa. Analizirani su pripovjedni uzorci 50 ispitanika prikupljeni pomoću hrvatske inačice Višejezičnog instrumenta za ispitivanje pripovijedanja (MAIN). Izračunati su koeficijenti korelacije između navika čitanja te sintaktičke složenosti i rječničkog bogatstva. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da postoji statistički značajna povezanost između navika čitanja odraslih te sintaktičke složenosti mjerene prosječnom duljinom komunikacijske jedinice. Iz toga možemo zaključiti da odrasle osobe koje češće čitaju imaju bolje pripovjedne sposobnosti. Međutim, ta se poveznica nije pokazala statistički značajnom kada je sintaktička složenost mjerena gustoćom klauza. Nije utvrđena povezanost ni rječničkog bogatstva i navika čitanja. Takvi rezultati upućuju na velike individualne razlike među odraslima te različite načine uporabe sintaktičkih znanja. Također je moguć utjecaj raznih čimbenika koji nisu kontrolirani u ovom istraživanju. Ovo istraživanje pruža informacije o navikama čitanja te pripovjednim sposobnostima odraslih govornika hrvatskog jezika, što je još uvijek veoma neistraženo područje te pridonosi logopedskome radu koji često podrazumijeva procjenu jezičnih sposobnosti kroz pripovijedanje.

Abstract (english)

Narration is a skill that is being developed our whole lives. By analysing narrative discourse, we can obtain a lot of information regarding linguistic abilities of individuals. From an early age, children are exposed to various linguistic structures and a rich vocabulary through shared reading activities. Many research studies have shown that children who are read to more often have better narrative abilities, but this connection hasn’t been as researched in adulthood. The goal of this study was to analyse and describe narrative abilities, specifically the microstructure of narrative discourse, and the reading habits of adults with typical language development. Narrative samples were collected from 50 participants using the Croatian version of the Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN) and analysed. Correlation coefficients were calculated between reading habits, syntactic complexity, and lexical richness. The research results showed a statistically significant correlation between adults' reading habits and syntactic complexity measured by the mean length of communication units. From this, we can conclude that adults who read more frequently have better narrative abilities. However, this correlation was not statistically significant when syntactic complexity was measured by clausal density. No correlation was found between lexical richness and reading habits. These results imply significant individual differences among adults and different ways of using their syntactic knowledge. Various factors that were not being controlled in this study may also have an influence on individuals’ narrative skills. This research provides information about the reading habits and narrative abilities of adult Croatian speakers, which is still a very under-researched area, and contributes to the speech-language pathology practice, which often involves assessing language abilities through narrative discourse.
