Sažetak

The paper analyses the key components of Abjanić’s linguistic research in the
context of the prevailing linguistic and other circumstances of his time. Ilija Abjanić
(1868 – 1949) did not accept the changes introduced by Croatian phoneticians.
On the contrary, he saw in them a direct danger for the Croatian language, the
Croatian culture and the Croatian nation. Whereas Karadžić’s followers promoted
the linguistic merging of Croatian and Serbian as a prerequisite of the Yugoslav
cultural and political integralism, Abjanić understood it as Great-Serbian
imperialism which would destroy the Croatian national entity. He opposed to it
in the best possible way he knew: by introducing innovations in the alphabet, by
reconstructing the system of accents and by reaffi rming the Croatian literary and
linguistic heritage which best refl ects the spirit of the Croatian language.
Besides opposing to Karadžić’s ideas, Abjanić spent decades on creating the
Croatian medical terminology. As a consequence of his rejection of Karadžić’s
norms his work was totally ignored and never published.
