Abstract

This paper lays out linguistic terminology in the first Croatian orthographies: the Kajkavian Kratki navuk za pravopisanje horvatsko and the Štokavian Upu- ćenje k' slavonskomu pravopisanju. Both orthographies were published at the university printing house in Budim in 1779 for school purposes, share the same conception, and consider completely identical orthographic issues in the same manner. The paper provides a comparative outline of the two terminological systems, studies their contacts, and compares them to the linguistic tradition. Accordingly, it also establishes their significance for Croatian linguistic terminology. Although these orthographies standardize a specific linguistic level of different literary languages, their linguistic terminology nevertheless shows close correlation with the terminology in previous and subsequent grammars and dictionaries, regardless of the pertaining literary language.
