Sažetak
The language of Kavanjin’s works has been of some interest to linguists since the 19th century to the present. There seems to have been literary reviews but bibliographic units devoted to the linguistic side of the epic have been scarce. In some studies only some information on the language of his work may be found. This paper approaches Bogatstvo i Uboštvo (Wealth and Poverty) with regard to the insufficient exploration of the language of Kavanjin’s epic, as well as to a lack of description at all language levels: phonological, morphological, syntactic, lexical... The analysis was carried out on the second, complete edition of the epic published by Josip Aranza entitled Poviest vanđelska bogatoga a nesrećna Epuluna and ubogoga a čestita Lazara.( Evangelistical history of the wealthy but unhappy Epulun and the poor but honest Lazarus). ( Bogatstvo i Uboštvo) ‘Velopiesna’ by Jerolim Kavań in (Cavagnini), the nobleman of Split and Trogir, was published in the edition Old Croatian Writers in Zagreb in 1913. "The language of Kavań in deserves special attention and study (...)", says Josip Aranza, editor of Kavanjin’s epic from 1913, and further points out that it is precisely in this poem that he can feel this "strange mixing of dialects." The starting point of the research on this work, was Kravar’s (1975: 38) thesis that in this author’s epic there is a tendency to substitute the Chakavian speech of a Split resident with the literary expression from Dubrovnik, that is, that this chakavian writer, as well as his contemporaries,must have written in Dubrovnik’s literary chakavian speeech. The paper deals with the phonological and morphological analysis of the language of Kavanjin’s epic Bogatstvo i uboštvo. The analysis of these linguistic elements should show to what extent Kavanjin’s poem is part of the Chakavian Croatian literary expression, and how much of the Štokavian dialect is present in it.
