Abstract
The paper focuses on Vjekoslav Babukić’s views on orthography which are analysed primarily on the basis of two grammar books that he wrote - Osnove slovnice slavjanske narěčja ilirskoga from 1836 and Ilirska slovnica from 1854. The presented conclusions about Babukić’s orthographic solutions are not only based on the rules that he listed in the chapters on orthography that he added to his grammar books (in his Slovnica from 1936 this is only a very brief annex that is actually shorter than a full page, while the orthographic annex from 1854 encompasses full twelve pages of text), but also on the orthographic solutions Babukić used in the other chapters of these two grammar books. We are also interested in Babukić’s definition of orthography (more specifically, the elements that constitute the orthographic norm according to him). Finally, Babukić’s orthographic concept will be compared to Josip Partaš’s Ilirski pravopis from 1850.
