Sažetak
Many people have been involved in the Split Chakavian dialect; it has been studied and evaluated, written down, analyzed... The city of Split has its own history, described and written down, it has its own language, it has Miljenko Smoje. The language of Miljenko Smoje deserves attention. Smoje was a well-known Split journalist, reporter, «great typewriter«, humorist, travel writer, television screenwriter... a man of great creative zeal. He wrote down the Split speech and translated it into the medium of the written word – his record is not only a unique literary work in the history of Croatian literature, but also a linguistic, dialectological document of the original Split speech.
The analysis of Smoje’s literary language will be made on his book named Libar, from 1981, which contains many of his feuilletons, articles, parts of articles, travelogues and a film script. It was created from 1955 to 1981. The corpus of research includes chapters from Libar: Feljtoni, Razgovori sa Šantom, Putositnice,
Ćakule na šentadi, Mali Marinko and Servantes iz Maloga mista.
This paper is a scientific study of the language of Miljenko Smoje that he used in
his works. Smoje was witty, sarcastic, gloomy while describing Split’s everyday life,
tied to the fate of a small man – a hard worker, a fisherman, a simple Dalmatian man… In this paper, the Split Chakavian dialect and Miljenko Smoje will be observed.
The paper reflects on Smoje’s written word and highlights its «secondary status« in
Croatian linguistic culture, and it reflects on Smoje reaching an eternity. With this
contribution, we will remember a great chronicler, his experience, humor, sincerity,
as well as his achievements.
Welcome to the Year of Miljenko Smoje!
