Contribution to the Understanding of Lexicography and Encyclopaedia in Contemporary Croatian Culture
Vlaho Bogišić
; Leksikografski zavod Miroslav Krleža, Zagreb
Sažetak
The author considers the status and the significance of lexicography and encyclopaedia in the Croatian society in general, and in the Croatian scientific and cultural community in particular, by including them in the context of institutionalised protection on the one side, and the lack of public and critical debate on what encyclopaedia and lexicography mean on the other. Individual attempts to promote this type of discussion in professional journals are analysed separately. Whereas the article considers one of the tasks of encyclopaedias to be the dissemination of general knowledge in the society, the backbone for drawing conclusions is in the public perception of lexicography and encyclopaedia, i.e. of their publicity. Furthermore, historical development of lexicography in Croatia in the period since the 1930s is examined in the context of its establishment as a separate (scientific) discipline, as well as terminological aspects of this issue and its position in the contemporary scientific system.
