Kodifikácia Antona Bernoláka a spisovná bernolákovčina
Codification of Anton Bernolák and Bernolák standard

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the language base codification of Slovak literary language, codified by A. Bernolák, and its real functioning. Studying of writing before A. Bernolák and A. Bernolák's assertion testify that the idiom, created in South-Western Slovakia and then spread across all Slovak territory, was a codification basis really. However, it was not in classical Trnavian form, but in a peripheral Northern Central Slovak one. Consequently, it is quite a large number of the Central Slovak elements, the use of which was along with the typical West Slovak ones. In the Bernolák's literary language these elements start being lost quickly, more and more increasing the West Slovak character of this literary language.
