Abstract

The role of grammatical categories in noun declension in the Croatian redaction of Church Slavonic
From the wealth of written material offered to the researcher of the Croatian mediaeval period the author has selected the part contained in Croato-Glagolitic liturgical books of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries to form the corpus for the investigation of the role of grammatical categories in noun declension. The categories of gender and animacy are contrasted to the categories of number and case, the former being inherent to noun stems, the latter being changeable and forming a paradigm. Finally, the category of declensional class is the only cateogry which is exclusively morphological. In this paper each of these gramatical categories is further analysed and their mutual relationships are determined.
The author illustrates her statements about this section of the grammar of the Croatian redaction of Church Slavonic by characteristic examples and also refers to its similarities and dissimilarities with the Old Church Slavonic and modern standard Croatian.
