REFLECTIONS ON LINGUISTIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GLAGOLITIC AND CYRILLIC EDITION OF THE NEW TE STAMENT (1562/3) WITH SPECTAL CONSIDERATION OF YAT REFLEX

Stjepan Damjanović ; University of Zagreb, Faculty of Philosophy

Abstract

The debates on linguistic conceptions of the Croatian Glagolitic Protestant texts involve, to a large extent, the choice of books that the Croatian Protestants used as linguistic models and their view on the rejuvenation of language, in other words, the need to avoid obsolete linguistic elements and introduce the fresh ones (from spoken idioms or newer texts). On the example of yat and partly some other linguistic occurrences, this paper demonstrates that following the appearance of the Glagolitic New Testament in 1562 there arose voices of discontent claiming the excessive distancing from Croatian Glagolitic tradition. Consequently, the elements of that tradition were reinforced in the Cyrillic edition of the New Testament published in 1563.
