Abstract
The English language is widely spread and used by a large number of both native and non-native speakers. Due to the political influence of their speakers and pop culture, the two most dominant varieties nowadays are American and British English. There are several aspects through which the differences between the two varieties can be discussed: vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation, and grammar. Vocabulary and pronunciation receive the most attention in empirically based studies, while grammar is rarely discussed in great detail. When it comes to irregular verbs, it is thought that American speakers prefer –ed forms, while British English speakers opt for –t forms. To see which variety Croatian students are prone to, a research was conducted among high school students and college students. The research shows that the learners prefer American English. The results could give a better insight in the errors learners make while acquiring American and British irregular verb forms.
Abstract (croatian)
Engleski jezik široko je rasprostranjen i koristi ga veliki broj izvornih ali i neizvornih govornika. Zbog političkog utjecaja i pop kulture, u današnje vrijeme najdominantnije varijante engleskog jezika su američka i britanska. Postoji nekoliko aspekata kroz koje se mogu promatrati njihove razlike: vokabular, pravopis, izgovor i gramatika. U dosadašnjim istraživanjima najviše se važnosti pridaje vokabularu i izgovoru, dok se o gramatici rijetko piše. Kada govorimo o nepravilnim glagolima, u školama se uči da govornici američkog engleskog koriste –ed nastavak, dok govornici britanskog engleskog koriste –t nastavak. Kako bismo provjerili kojoj su verziji engleskoj jezika hrvatski učenici više skloni, provelo se istraživanje u kojem su sudjelovali maturanti dviju gimnazija i studenti engleskog jezika. Istraživanje je pokazalo da obje grupe češće koriste američki engleski. Rezultati istraživanja mogu pružiti učiteljima bolji uvid u pogreške koje učenici rade tijekom usvajanja američkih i britanskih nepravilnih glagola.
