Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Rechtschreibung von Maturantinnen und Maturanten in einem österreichischen Deutschmaturatext-Korpus. Es werden Ergebnisse aus einer quantitativen und qualitativen Untersuchung dieses Lernerkorpus präsentiert. Diese haben gezeigt, dass die Rechtschreibleistungen in den untersuchten österreichischen Maturaarbeiten besser sind als in der (medialen) Öffentlichkeit angenommen, dabei jedoch bestimmte Fehlerschwerpunkte hervorstechen. Signifikante Unterschiede in Hinblick auf Leistungen bei Orthographie und Zeichensetzung bestehen zudem zwischen stift- und computergeschriebenen Arbeiten.
Quotation marks are substantially used for direct speech and citations. For the ‘modalizing’ use, the Official Rules state that a “different understanding than usual” is indicated; they give very little information on the use of quotation marks beyond literal reference. It therefore seems all the more interesting to investigate the usage of modalizing quotation marks. In the present analysis, we studied the school-leaving examinations of an entire year. School-leaving examinations are texts by persons whose institutional acquisition of written language can be regarded as complete; they are texts written by skilled writers. The investigation takes into account both formal and functional observations. We recognized differences between school subjects that can be interpreted with regard to the concept of educational language. The writers described here showed a high sensitivity (conscious or unconscious) to the use of quotation marks, which we call the “struggle for educational language”. This may be related to the corpus investigated here. However, our study constitutes a solid basis for further corpus studies on quotation marks.
