Abstract

This paper is based on a research with intention to identify phonological and phonetic deviations in Croatian as L2 of Polish speakers. Participants were recorded in Warsaw in 2017. Research included 21 Polish students of Croatian language, first group had 12 first year students, second had 8 fourth year students and there was 1 doctorate student that was learning Croatian for 5 years. Task consisted of two parts, in first part participants were reading words and short standardised texts and in second they were answering questions using unbound speech. Croatian and Polish language systems were compared and mutual differences between groups were emphasized but, in the end, there was no significant statistical difference. Deviations in consonant pronunciation and accent position were analised perceptively, acoustic values of Croatian vowels were analised in Praat program. Those results were compared with standard values of Croatian vowels and deviations were noticed.
