PRAVOPIS PRVOG IZDANJA ROMANA ZELENO BUSENJE EDHEMA MULABDIĆA
ORTOGRPHY OF THE FIRST EDITION OF EDHEM MULABDIC’S NOVEL ZELENO BUSENJE (GREEN TURF)

Summary/Abstract: Paper describes the orthography of the first edition of Edhem Mulabdic’s novel “Zeleno busenje”(Green turf). This is a canonical novel of the bosniak’s literature history in the Austro-Hungarian period, and its orthographical characteristics have been compared with the Grammar of the Bosnian language in 1890, as well as with the Ivan Broz’s Croatian orthography in 1893.Those were two valid normative manuals of that period in the place of the novel origin and in the place of the novel publication. The fact that this edition was published in Zagreb at the moment of the final acceptance of the phonetic orthography is particularly emphasized in this paper. Orthography of the novel follows sometimes the solutions of the one and sometimes of the other one manual, depending on the observed language characteristics. However, it is important to say that language expression shows the tendencies of the equalization in a view of the language standardization processes of that period, while keeping the uniqueness of the Bosnian language.
