O jezičnim rješenjima Stipana Lukića
On the Language Solutions of Stipan Lukić

Summary/Abstract: After the famous Franciscan literary circle in Buda, which was very active in the late 17th and 18th centuries, some writers who were not Franciscans were active in the pre-revival period in the 19th century, continuing the enlightenment activities of the previous century. One of them was Stipan Lukić, who was from Buda, but was employed as a clerk in Pest at the Hungarian Royal Chamber. In 1823, in Pest, Lukić published an educational religious work for children under the title Xivot Gospodina Boga i Spasitelja nashega Isukersta. S’ boxanstvenom Prilikom Njegovom (The Life of Our Lord God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ, with His Divine Image). The linguistic analysis of this work shows a partial reliance on the linguistic solutions of the Slavonian grammarians Relković and Lanosović, but also a partial reliance on the local language of the Buda Croats of that time, especially on the phonological level. Some of Lukić’s linguistic features are found in the works of Croatian writers from the 16th to the middle of the 20th century, and some are still present today and belong to the contemporary Croatian literary language. The analysis is supported by concrete examples.
