Language of Croatian Lord's Prayer

Stjepan Babić ; Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The standard Croatian text of the Lord's Prayer has been used for over 700 years with only slight adaptations to linguistic developments. Owing to such a long continuous use, some archaic language features have been retained in it that normally would not have been present now. Most of these features fit well in the present state of the language, except for one questionable use of the personal pronouns which the author justifies by its long use and stylistic value.
