Normative vacillations in the use of the sounds č and ć

Author(s): Stjepan Babić
Subject(s): Language and Literature Studies
Published by: Hrvatsko filološko društvo

Summary/Abstract: The author first discusses the reasons for those situations in the Croatian literary language in which both the sounds č and ć can be used in the same words, without change of meaning. Such duplicities are not well-accepted in literary language, even less so in normative reference books. The author shows how these phenomena can be relatively easily described but it is difficult to prescribe a norm which would not be disputed.
