Dialects in contact -one of the essential features in the language of old Croatian literature
Josip Vončina
Abstract
Contemporary theory of languages in contact (which has been dealt with in Yugoslavia primarily by Academician Rudolf Filipović) can be most effectively applied by those who are concerned with old Croatian literature. Through the centuries-long history of this literature, one can clearly trace the contact of the three fundamental dialects: čakavian, kajkavian and štokavian. Belostenec's 'Gazophylacium' (especially in the designation of lexemes from Slavonia [Scl.] and Dalmatia [D.]) makes it possible to speak somewhat more precisely about how our philologists near the end of the 17th c. (during Belostenec's life) of around 1740 (when his dictionary was published) observed the differences between the dialects. The essential aim of this contribution is to show how 'Gazophylacium' recorded the whole linguistic range (phonetic-phonological, morphological and formational) of differences within Belostenec's maternal kajkavian dialect and the čakavian-štokavian dialect complex which lies within the lexicographical designation “(D.) Dalmatice”.
