Sto dvadeset godina dijalektologije u Bosni i Hercegovini
One hundred and twenty years of dialectology in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: The beginnings of dialectology in Bosnia and Herzegovina are related to the end of the 19th century – to Šurmin’s works from 1895, to Rešetar’s Questions about the Speech of the Common People, and to the survey of the National Museum in 1897. The first half of the twentieth century yielded only a dozen of works, whereas the second half of the last century was very fruitful. More modest dialectological activities continued in the early 21st century.Bosnian-Herzegovinian speeches have been fairly equally researched in about thirty monographs, in numerous large- and small-scale researches, in linguistic geography endeavors, and they have been summarized in several syntheses. Phonetics was most elaborated, then morphology; less emphasis is placed on accent and syntax, and the least to word formation and vocabulary.
