Language as Ideological and Political Symbol (Serbian Party in Language Turmoils in Austrian Dalmatia in the 1880's)
Tihomir Rajčić
Sažetak
In this paper, the author investigates the ideologically-political aspects of the Serbian Party's linguistic views in Austrian Dalmatia in the 1880's. The author observes that the Serbian Party had inherited the language standard created by Karadžić on the basis of the idea that all štokavians are Serbs. This language, in such form, was considered to be the carrier of the “national spirit”, not only among the Serbs – in fact, this name was used for all speakers of middle-South-Slavic organic idioms – but among all Southern Slavs. In that context, Croatian was negated to exist as a separate language. Such linguistic views of the Serbian Party were welcomed by the Dubrovnik “slovinci” and by Dalmatian autonomists, whereas they were rejected by the supporters of the People’s Party and the Party of Rights. The presented facts lead to the conclusion that for the Serbian Party the language was primarily a nationally-political symbol, while its socially-communicational role was of secondary importance
