Since languages are such powerful means of group identification, they may be considered as constitutive of communities. Attitudes expressed toward certain linguistic varieties may thus be perceived as attitudes held toward respective community-members. However, as attitudes are not always easily accessible, and are rarely one-dimensional but rather multi-layered, an insight into overt (publicly proclaimed) and covert (privately held) ideologies can enhance understanding of language attitudes and their meaning. This paper brings the analysis of these two types of attitudes held by adolescents in three most populated places on the island of Korcula, Croatia. The analysis is based on the results obtained by means of a questionnaire eliciting, among other things, overt attitudes toward six local, regional and supra-regional varieties, and covert attitudes toward judges' local speech and the Standard variety of Croatian. Although the results confirm some expected tendencies in the evaluation of different varieties, subsequently conducted analysis of speech recognition rates offers some valuable insights and interesting implications for further interpretation of the results.
由于语言是群体认同的强大手段，它们可被视为社区的构成要素。因此，对某些语言变体所表达的态度可能会被视为对相应社区成员所持的态度。然而，由于态度并不总是易于获取，而且很少是单一维度的，而是多层面的，深入了解公开（公开宣称）和隐蔽（私下持有）的意识形态可以增强对语言态度及其意义的理解。本文对克罗地亚科尔丘拉岛人口最多的三个地方的青少年所持的这两种态度进行了分析。该分析基于通过问卷调查获得的结果，该问卷除其他外，引出了对六种地方、区域和超区域变体的公开态度，以及对法官的地方口音和克罗地亚标准语的隐蔽态度。尽管结果证实了在评估不同变体时的一些预期趋势，但随后进行的语音识别率分析为结果的进一步解释提供了一些有价值的见解和有趣的启示。
