Doprinos Asima Pece razvoju bosanskohercegovačke dijalektologije
Asim Peco’s Contribution to Bosnian-and-Herzegovinian Dialectology

Summary/Abstract: Academician Asim Peco (Ortiješ near Mostar, 1927) is the most prominent Bosnianand-Herzegovinian linguist. His works have contributed to clarifying a complex dialectical picture in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and they also have significantly enhanced the dialectology of the entire South-Slavic area. The bibliography of A. Peco consists of more than twenty books and more than 550 scientific and expert contributions, discussions, criticisms, reviews and overviews. The works of this dialectology expert often problematize the issues which, directly or indirectly, concern the Bosnian-and-Herzegovinian speech area, and a considerable portion of his works exclusively deal with the dialectical situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The area of the eastern, central and western Herzegovina and western Bosnia were the subject matter of his detailed analysis, but also the other Bosnian-and-Herzegovinian areas were not deprived of his attention and analysis. He provided a special contribution, among others, in defining an origin of the Ikavian element in the Štakavian, Šćakavian and Čakavian speeches and in determining a special position for the Ikavian-Šćakavian speeches.
