The ianguage of Ivan Kozarac

Sanda Ham

Abstract

Using the nove! "Đuka Begović" by Ivan Kozarac as an example, this paper sets out to define the
position of Kozarac's language within the historical growth of Croatian, evaluating his language
against Croatian tradition and earlier Croatian writers, as wel! as against the nom1 and use of Kozarac's
time. In doing so, the paper endeavors to refute the erroneous opinion that Kozarac 's language is
marked by spclling, grammatical and lexical irregularities, and to prove that Kozarac's texl falls
between two norms, two linguistic systems - the Zagreb School of Philology and the Maretić School
- gradually relinquishing the older fonns, while slowly and hesitantly adopting the new ones
