Abstract

The speech idioms of the diasystem of Croatian dialects, during the prolonged period before the Croatian national revival, were reflected, up to a point, in the language of Croatian drama written before the Illyrian movement. However, the appearance of dialectal features in dramatic texts was not uniform. The situation differed during various life-spans of organic idioms and within the separate developmental periods of Croatian drama. Some organic idioms played greater or more significant roles than others in the writing of dramatic texts while many were not represented at all. The autochthonous speech elements did not appear equally in different literary groups, so that their presence was much more pronounced in comedy, for example, than in tragedy, the pastoral or in lyric poetry.
