About the differences and similarities in the normalization of the Croatian and Serbian languages

Artur Bagdasarov

Abstract

The disintegration of the SFRY and the formation of new states in the post-Yugoslav space constitutionally consolidated the status of the Croatian and Serbian languages as state languages, strengthening the process of interlingual delimitation and independent development. Differences in the elements of the linguistic structure between the Croatian and Serbian literary languages ​​are noted by linguists at all levels: phonetic, phonological, grammatical, lexical, syntactic and stylistic. The differences are most clearly revealed at the lexical level. For the Croatian language, in the course of linguistic standardization and codification, a prescriptive-descriptive approach in linguistic standardization is more characteristic, for Serbian – a descriptive-prescriptive one.
