O standardnom i književnom jeziku
On Standard and Literary Language

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the relationship between the notions of „standard language“ (standardni jezik) and „literary“ or „written language“ is briefly discussed because it continues to induce misunderstandings in Croatian linguistic discourse. They are not synonyms because the standard language is a literary or written language, but not every literary language is a standard language. Standard language is the most highly developed form of a literary or written language. Therefore, standard and literary have to be distinguished and denoted by different terms.
