Mirko Divković and Tomo Maretić -rivals in the promulgation of Croatian school grammars
Zlatko Vince
Sažetak
Divković's grammar textbooks of the 1870's and 80's displaced Veber's “Slovnica” in the Croatian schools, and moreover, their usage dominated for nearly two decades. However, at the time of the eighth printing of Divković's grammar in 1899, there appeared Maretić's School Grammar and large scholarly grammar. The author explains in detail the changes and criticisms of specific deficiencies in these grammars, there being many more in Divković's textbook. While sharply criticizing Maretić's for its failings, he shows its superiority and grammatical qualifications. The appearance of Maretić's grammar was a significant event in that period of the Croatian school system and linguistic science. Maretić's grammar prevailed because of its soundness and its philological investigations, which are wanting in Divković's. That author will be remembered more as a lexicographer than as a grammarian.
