Abstract

In this discussion it is shown what linguistic questions are implicitly touched by the Declaration and that it contests the neo-grammarian criteria for the identity of written languages, which remained overwhelmingly influencial until today. In order to know what the Croatian written language, including its standard form, really is, it is necessary to renounce to the dialectal monism that was until now imposed by its theory and to apply dialectal pluralism in which this literary language was dialectaly stylized in different ways until it eventually received its standard neoštokavian jekavian stylization.
