Language layers of so called Marulić's Marijinski oficij

Dragica Malić ; Institut za hrvatski jezik i jezikoslovlje, Zagreb

Abstract

From the prayer book attributed to Marko Marulić the author singles out Marijinski oficij for analysis. The language analysis shows that the prayer and psalm text of the office and Marulić's poetic translations belong to the same literary and language sphere and it confirms the presupposition that the office is based on older protographs. Some language features point to the further northern and/or older origin of the texts (with Old Church Slavonic traits), while other language features lean on the Split vernacular of Marulić's time. The influence of Dubrovnik (literary) language can also be noticed.
