Abstract
The article analyses the older grammar forms in Nazor’s story
“Water” (“Voda”) and the conspicuous features of his Shtokavian
literary idiom. The 19th-century linguistic and political setting allows for the premise that most deviations from the standard norm will
be found at the levels of phonology and morphology, and that these
deviations will collide with the Chakavian norm Nazor had inherited. In
place of these deviations, older grammar forms are used. The aim of the
article is to linguistically analyse Nazor’s Shtokavian literary language,
with special attention given to the deviatiaons that are the dominant
features of his oeuvre.
