Morphological Aspects of the Orthographic Norm

Tomislav Ćužić ; Športska gimnazija Zagreb

Abstract

The introduction section differentiates the morphological (and “orthomorphological”) and orthographic norm, emphasizing a kind of a paradox of the orthographic norm. In the central section of the paper, the comparative and contrastive analysis method is used to analyze several relevant morphological aspects included in the defining of orthographic principles and orthographic rules. The goal of the paper is to bring to awareness the theoretical and morphological aspects pointing to the permeation of a kind of morphology and orthography, all through the prism of Croatian orthographic norm, as well as the norm of some Slavic languages, primarily South Slavic. In accordance with the above, the conclusion discusses the complex relation between the grammatical/morphological norm and the orthographic norm, i.e. the way in which the specificities of the grammatical norm become an issue pertaining to the orthographic norm.
