Kárpátaljai magyar pedagógusok és tanítványaik metanyelvi ismereteiről

On the metalanguage knowledge of Hungarian teachers and their students in Subcarpathia Several surveys verified it in the past years that the language dialect attitude of ethnic Hungarian students and teachers in Subcarpathia changed in a positive di-rection. Despite these developments they still could not entirely discard their nega-tive preconceptions many of them have developed against the non-standard vari-ants of the Hungarian language. In the present study I analyze the data from two questionnaire surveys I conducted in 2018 among students and teachers. From the analysis it becomes clear that the knowledge of the group about language variants is still lacking, resulting in controversies, often inconsistencies which can be ob-served in their expressions related to language dialects and the ones speaking such dialects.
