Bosnian Štokavian in Dalibor Brozović’s Research

Abstract

Academician Dalibor Brozović’s research in genetic, typological and sociolinguistics is very closely related to the areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Brozović’s greatest interests, within the fields of dialectology and comparative linguistics, were Štokavian and Bosnian dialects. He also made a great contribution to developing linguistic atlases, field research, and collecting and reporting the state of speech in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the rest of the South Slavic philology, the research of this linguist in the field of dialectology is of immense importance. This paper will focus on Bosnian Štokavian in the most important works of academician Brozović.
