Abstract
SUMMARY
The paper is focused on Krleža's lengthy preoccupation with the Kajkavian dialect as part of the Croatian written culture and its worldview beliefs, and the mentality-conditioned and structural moments (definition of characters by language) are analysed: the ones that create three distinctive Kajkavians: Joža Podravec – “Povratak Filipa Latinovicza”, 1932., Petrica Kerempuh – “Balade Petrice Kerempuha”, 1936, and Valent Žganec – “Na rubu pameti”, 1938. The extensive available material is reduced to the discourse on the listed characters (and the narrative about them). They are studied as three independent and unique constructs, and their appearance in temporal succession, developing to be more and more complex, opens the possibility of approaching them as to variations of a related concept.
