Abstract
Antun Kanižlić is one of the most important writers from the period of Croatian Baroque. In his religious long poem Sveta Rožalija, he celebrated Slavonian literature. Sveta Rožalija is a late-Baroque long poem, written in Štokavian-Ikavian variant, relying on both northern and southern models. Previous analyses have shown that Kanižlić›s language was mostly influenced by the language of Dubrovnik literature through Della Bella›s vocabulary, followed by the texts of Vitezović›s dictionary. Kanižlić borrowed many Kajkavian expressions at all linguistic levels from Belostenec›s dictionary. A computer corpus analysis of this long poem will thus be made in order to describe the language of Sveta Rožalija at the grammatical, lexical and stylistic levels. This paper is expected to contribute to a better understanding of Baroque literature, as well as a better perception of the work itself and its content.
