Nova vremena i novi pravopisi (različita izdanja romana Nova vremena u kontekstu revizije pravopisa iz 1912. godine)
New Times and New Orthographies (Different Editions of Nova vremena Novel in the Context of the Revision of the Orthography from year 1912)

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the application of the orthographic norm in two different edition of Edhem Mulabdic’s novel Nova vremena. The editions were published in the interval of 13 years, first in the magazine and then as a separate release. It was found by the analysis that the text of the novel published in magazine is generally more editable and follows valid norm prescribed in Frano Vuletic’s Bosnian Language Grammar from year 1890, while the text of the book is quite less editable showing the inconsistency towards the valid norm from the Revision of the Serbo-Croatian Language Orthography from year 1912. Social context in which Austrian-Hungarian Government has imposed some orthographic solutions as well as the way of its practical application has been emphasized. General tendency of the acceptance of phonetic orthographical principle has been noted in editions. Certain inconsistencies are also noted in some orthographic characteristics and everywhere in the text it can be clearly seen that the process of the orthographic norm stabilization lasts. The question of the change of language name was also pointed out in the paper, which indicates to the dynamic character of the language politics and language standardization during the Austrian-Hungarian administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
