Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to make an overview of the relevant scientific
works within Macedonian studies, with a special focus on the work of Vatroslav
Jagić as the father of Southern Slavic studies. For Macedonian philology V. Jagić
is extremely important because many Macedonian authors refer to his conclusions
regarding the origin of the Old Church Slavonic language, which he locates
in Macedonian linguistic territory. Although, considering the time tradition when
he created, Vatroslav Jagić does not highlight the uniqueness of the Macedonian
language, he still indirectly indicates that the Macedonian dialects create a complete
linguistic diasystem, so that we may consider him as an important authority
for Macedonian studies at the end of the 19th century and the first third of the 20th
century. In fact, Krste Misirkov stresses this information multiple times in his book
Za makedonckite raboti published in 1903. Hence, in Macedonian Slavic studies
after the Second World War, many relevant authors highlight the importance of V.
Jagić in the development of Macedonian studies.
Keywords
