Abstract
The attempt to determine the Glagolitic conception of literary language and its description in the individual texts, mainly those non-liturgical, are a constant in the opus of Stjepan Damjanović. He is most interested in the way Glagolitic monks formed their attitudes towards the proper literary language within the gap between the use of Old Church Slavic and Old Croatian language, particularly the Chakavian system. The centuries long tradition of the use of Old Church Slavic was at their disposal, but they also had the possibility to build the literary language on the Old Croatian base in order to ensure its intelligibility and achieve its acceptability in a wider area. In this article the basic principles of DamjanoviÊ’s methodology are presented, particularly with respect to the previous approaches to the study of Croatian Glagolitic texts.
