Mario Grčević ; Hrvatski studiji Sveučilišta u Zagrebu

Abstract

The existing literature on V. S. Karadžić and Jernej Kopitar often points out Karadžić’s dependence on Kopitar. As a result, Karadžić is often referred to as “Kopitar’s product” or the “executor” of Kopitar’s outline of the reform of the Serbian literary language and culture. The article discusses some of the reasons that justify this view of their relationship and the reasons why Kopitar decided to influence the development of the Serbian literary language.
