About the Words of the Croatian Literary Language

Summary/Abstract: Based on concrete lexical examples, the paper shows the distinctiveness of the Croatian literary language on the lexical level. Particular words are being analyzed that are used in all three Croatian dialects and their organic idioms. Special attention has been paid to words that have been classified as Kajkavianisms although they are actually both Kajkavian and Čakavian. It is also suggested which of these words are used in the Čakavian, archaic Štokavian and Kajkavian dialects. The analysis shows that there are quite a few of these words but that, to date, no comparison of this kind has been made.
