Abstract
This paper presents a word order analysis of sentence in Croatian anonymous prose comedies that originate from the 17th century Dubrovnik area. The results of the analysis are compared with the word order of the Dubrovnik’s literary language of that time. A comparison with Lazibat’s research results on Dubrovnik’s archive documents from the 17th and 18th century, and Lovrić Jović’s ones about Dubrovnik’s testaments from the same period of time are adjecent to the synchronic approach; a diachronic review is made in comparison to Rešetar’s language research from Ranjina’s collection of papers, Držić’s language, Lovrić Jović’s research of frančezarije and Budmani’s research of the nineteen-century Dubrovnik speech. Special attention is dedicated to the placing of the enclitics, which is, as expected, mostly older so pronominal enclitic precedes the verb enclitic, but depending on smješnica, a lot of exceptions were also perceived.
