Normative position of dictionary register labels
Artur Rafaelovič Bagdasarov
Sažetak
The paper discusses normative position of various Croatian words in four
recently published monolingual dictionaries in Croatia: Anić — Rječnik
hrvatskoga jezika (1998) written by late professor Vladimir Anić, published
by Novi liber; HJS — Hrvatski jezični savjetnik (1999) written by scholars
in Croatian institute for language and linguistics (Hrvatski institut za jezik i
jezikoslovlje), HER — Hrvatski enciklopedijski rječnik (2004), published by
Novi liber; RHJ — Rječnik hrvatskoga jezika (2000) published by Croatian
lexicography institute (Hrvatski leksikografski zavod) and Školska knjiga.
Register labels differ between the dictionaries. Some words in one or more
dictionaries have labels such as regional, spoken, literature register, archaic,
historic etc. while other dictionaries do not mark the same words with reg-
ister labels, which implies that those words are used as unmarked ones,
e.g. in harmony with the Croatian norms. The author supposes that the
choices of register labels are sometimes made according to the subjective
opinions of dictionary writers or according to the places of their birth,
which is not a good ground for scientific approach. Some labels are not
in line with actual usage of standard Croatian in the Republic of Croatia
but reflect (proscribed) norms of previous times. There are some differences
between the same Croatian words on various levels: phonology, orthography
phono-morphology, gender, word-formation, semantics etc. As too many
variations in word forms on the one hand, and too many different opinions
regarding the position of the same words on the other are to some extent
caused by various subjects of language policy, the author argues for a uni-
fied position, which would be proposed by the Council for Norms of Croatian
Standard language (Vijeće za normu hrvatskoga standardnoga jezika).
