Spelling and orthography in Antun Ivanošić’s work Svemogući neba i zemlje Stvoritelj

Abstract

The paper compares the spelling and orthographic solutions used in Antun Ivanošić’s work Svemogući neba i zemlje Stvoritelj (Zagreb, 1788) with the rules of the first Slavonic orthography Upućenje k slavonskomu pravopisanju by Antun Mandić (Ofen, 1779). Despite fairly stable usage standards and a reasonably clear note to users provided in the official orthography, Ivanošić often fails to comply with Mandić’s instructions. Moreover, he tends to follow Croatian Kajkavian spelling norms to a great extent in his recording of several phonemes, /ļ/, /ń/, /dž/, non-differentiating phonemes /č/ and /ć/, etc. He also records the syllable /ṛ/ in the manner typical for the southern part of Croatian. Nevertheless, Ivanošić mostly adheres to spelling rules as prescribed by Mandić.
