Языковой и культурологический континуум современной Южной Славии: сербский, хорватский, боснийский и черногорский языки (pro et contra)
The Linguistic and Culturological Continuum in Modern South Slavia: Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin Languages (Pro et Contra)

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with current issues of the language situation that has developed in the South Slavic space, with the involvement of cultural and phraseological material. The approach to determining the status of the Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin languages is substantiated on the basis of a set of criteria for distinguishing them as independent languages. The relevance of the stated problems is presented in the search for its objective, both linguistic and extralinguistic resolution. The issues of language and dialect are the subject of a rather sharp long-term discussion among the nations of Southern Slavia, which is due to both political factors and the growth of national self-consciousness, which reached its maximum degree in the 1990s.
