Scientific foundations of Croatian Vukovci

Summary/Abstract: In late 19th century, the Vukovci (followers of Vuk Karadžić) attempted to redirect Standard Croatian in conformity with the views of Serbian linguist Vuk S. Karadžić. In this they were successful to a certain extent, that is in the areas of natural inclination of Standard Croatian and these of a still present vacillation In its main body, however, Standard Croatian stayed within its separate course. In the view of many. the reason for these attempts by the Croatian Vukovci had their roots in politics T he author demonstrates that a major reason were also the scientific views of the time, with the prevalence of Neogrammarian School and the priority it gave to the spoken language and dialectal speech over the written standard.
