Abstract
Lavoslav Firholcer published Horvatsko-slavonska slovnica za početnike (grammar for beginners) in Varaždin in 1847. The grammar is divided into four big parts: pravočitanje (orthoepy), pravopis (orthography), rěčoizpitivanje (morphology), rěčoslaganje (syntaxes) and glasoudaranje (prosody), and all parts are in the question-and-answer form. This grammar of the Croatian language contains 107 pages of description of the Croatian language, 21 pages of practise reading skills, a list of handwritten and typewritten Cyrillic and Latinic letters, while the last four pages contain texts in Serbian written in the Cyrillic script and in the Latinic script. This paper analyses contents of grammar and compares them with the linguistic concepts of the Zagreb School of Philology and two grammars which had influenced on Lavoslav Firholcer’s grammar – Osnova slovnice slavjenske narěčja ilirskoga from 1836 by Vjekoslav Babukić and especially Temelji ilirskoga i latinskoga jezika za početnike from 1839 by Antun Mažuranić.
