DALIBOR BROZOVIĆ ON KAJKAVŠTINA (THE KAJKAVIAN DIALECT)

Abstract

Sažetak Kao jedan od vodećih hrvatskih dijalektologa, Dalibor Brozović bavio se i problematikom kajkavskoga narječja. Kajkavština nije bila primarni predmet njegova interesa, njome se bavi u radovima o cjelini hrvatskoga i srednjojužnoslavenskoga jezičnog područja – danas i u povijesti. To su trovrsni radovi: (1) o povijesnojezičnim rekonstrukcijama, (2) radovi koji se bave dijalektološkom klasifikacijom i sintezom suvremenog stanja i (3) radovi vezani uz lingvističku geografiju. Kao četvrta se (4) skupina mogu izdvojiti Brozovićevi radovi s problematikom dijalektalne književnostiAs one of the leading Croatian linguists with very diverse and wide linguistic interests; ranging from comparative Slavic studies via standardology to language history, dialectology and linguistic geography — in his scientific work the academician Dalibor Brozović also studied issues linked with the Kajkavian dialect. In most cases Kajkavština was not the sole subject of his interest, but it was the inevitable segment of those Brozović’s dialectological works that question the entire body of the Croatian and central south Slavic language area — today and throughout history. In principal those works can be divided into three groups. 1. works dealing with historical and linguistic reconstructions — from the proto-language to the era of great migrations caused by the Otoman conquests 2. Works on dialectological classification and contemporary synthesis, and 3. Works linked with linguistic geography and language atlases. Alongside with the above, a fourth group may be the one covering Brozović’s works on the issues of dialectal literature. When he is viewing the Croatian dialectology history, he also writes on studies carried out on the subject of Kajkavština, especially about the contributions made by Radovan Ivšić on the subject of accentology. When covering the subject of the Croatian literary language development, he also contributed in respect to the Kajkavian component. When discussing the language of Croatian literature, he takes into account the threedialectal characteristics, thereby the Kajkavian component as well
