Sažetak
This paper deals with the language of the Kajkavian Cooking Instructions of the Capuchin friar Pashazije from 1787, considering the point of view of synchrony and diachrony. From a synchronic point of view, an attempt will be made to determine the standard or dialectal nature of certain linguistic features in Pashazije’s text. Scholars of the literary Kajkavian language point out that »the language in the works of writers of a particular period is essentially one and the same, regardless of which Kajkavian region the writer comes from«, and that »on the basis of these works, it is impossible to obtain a historical dialectal picture of the Kajkavian subdialects and local idioms« (Šojat 1981:2). However, cookbooks are a type of text for practical purposes, so vernacular elements will penetrate them more than other types of texts. In the identification and analysis of the dialectal features in the Cooking Instructions, the starting point is the assumption that dialectally coloured linguistic features can be distinguished based on a comparison with the features of the literary Kajkavian language, which are described and/or prescribed in the grammars of that idiom. Szentmártony’s Introduction to the Horvatski Language (1783) was chosen as the reference grammar for that part of the analysis.
In the second part of the analysis, from the starting point of historical dialectology, the possibility is considered that the variables identified as dialectal in Pashazije’s idiolect are attributed to individual organic systems of the Kajkavian language. Those variables are compared with what is known in the dialectological literature about the present-day linguistic features of Pashazije’s native idiom (Pashazije was born in Severin na Kupi, which belongs to the eastern branch of Goranski dialect of Kajkavian, and he served as a guardian of the Capuchin monastery in Zagreb and Varaždin). Finally, under the assumption that observed deviations from the norm of the eighteenth-century Kajkavian standard and selections among individual variants really represent the influence of the dialect, the possibility of obtaining information about the characteristics of the organic local idioms of Kajkavian in the 18th century is considered.
