NAPOMENE O VITEZOVIĆEVU JEZIKU
NOTES ON VITEZOVIĆ'S LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: Pavao Vitezović wrote his works in Latin and Croatian. Basic characteristics of the language used in Odiljenje sigetsko (Siget Parting), his best poetic work, are discussed in this article. By his literary language I 'itezović belongs to the so called northern thrend which tends to the unification ofchakavi-an. kajkavian and štokavian dialects. The basis of this three-dialectal language oj Vitezov ić's work is chakavian. This is shown by the typical chakavianism, for example zač, kadli, s manom, s nami. etc.. apart from northern chakavian regular double reflex o/jat (misit teslo and lipo lelo). Accentuation is also chakavian. exactly the one used in the poet's birth place of Senj.
