Abstract

Jozo Dujmušić published linguistic texts for 26 years, from 1896 to 1942, but his work has never received any scientific recognition. This paper contains a list of Dujmušić's most important linguistic papers and their descriptions, with special emphasis on the two of his greatest interests – linguistic purism and reinstatement of etymological orthography and "jekavian speech". His puristic papers mostly focus
on purging the Croatian language of different "barbarisms" (Russianisms, Serbisms, Turkisms, Germanisms), but they also involve the recognition of foreign influence on other levels of the Croatian language (morpho-phonological, morphological and syntactic). Through reaffirmation of etymological orthography and "jekavian speech", Dujmušić demonstrated anti-Vukovian standpoints and rejected Serbian
language policy, which might account for his complete anonymity.
