Summary/Abstract: The aim of our research was to explore and demonstrate the existence of linguistic discrimination. The research involved more than 500 teachers and teacher trainees from four countries (Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine) and relied on a method developed by the author. The research clearly supports the assumption that linguisticdiscrimination is widespread in pedagogical evaluation. Linguistic variability in oral productions with the same content resulted in as much as a full grade of difference in terms of grades. The differences were statistically significant for each sample, therefore the prevalence of linguistic discrimination is proved.
