ABOUT THE NAMES OF LANGUAGE IN THE LITERATURE OF THE 18th CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the different names of the language in the literature of the 18th century. The sources of research were consisted of the works of three writers: Simeon Piščević, Mula-Mustafa Bašeskija i fra Filip Lastrić. All texts, written in foreign language (Russian, Turkish, Latin), include valuable data about the names of native language. Writers write in a foreign language, but they think in their native language named differently as Serbian, Slovenian, Native, Illyrian, Bosnian. It means that the awareness of the native language and its particularities has been present in this period of our language development. Also, it is obvious the difference between spoken language of that period (which is always native) and the official language of literature, which is foreign. Furthermore, as the autors belong to the different traditions of literature, their works are convenient for historical and theoretical analysis of the literature, which results in, aside of historical-linguistics approach, an integral insight in the tradition of the language in literature of the 18th century.
