Nominacija jezika u časopisu Bosna od 1866. do 1878. godine
Language Nomination in Magazine “Bosna” from 1866 to 1878

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses language nomination in magazine Bosna from 1866 to 1878. That was the period marked by activity of Vilajetska štamparija and magazine Bosna was the official political paper. There were various texts in the newspaper: newspaper, administrative-legal, informative, as well as literary ones. In the observed period, the language is discussed in the magazine indirectly, within the framework of some other, wider topics. We find three types of language names in the materials: nationally marked, nationally unmarked, and neutral and descriptive names. Although not at the very beginning, the Vilajet administration otherwise led a more flexible language policy, i.e. it recognized the situation it found, which corresponded to the sociocultural conditions of that time. This is why the colorfulness of language nomination is present. The texts in the new magazine in the observed period testify to the beginnings of a turn away from oriental literary and linguistic heritage towards creativity in the native language and script.
