Sažetak
The paper shows that the standard Croatian passed through the period of lexical restoration in the second half of the 19th century. For this reason it reached a desirable level of functional polyvalence, at the beginning of the 20,h century.
In the 20th century, four important political events occured which directly influenced the general and professional lexis of standard Croatian.
The first changes happened in 1921, when the formation of the “one and only” Serbo-Croatian-Slovenian language began, which in turn became the official language in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and later (from 1931) in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
The second event happend in 1941, when The Independent State of Croatia was formed and consistent efforts were made to differentiate the Croatian and Serbian languages lexically. To revive numerous Croatian lexemes which were formed until the end of the 19th century became a major aim.
The third event happened in 1945 and last until 1990. At that time the formation of the Serbo-Croatian language was clearly established as the official language of the second Yugoslavia.
The fourth event happened in 1990. The changes in the Croatian lexis which occured after that are mostly puristic.
