About Language of kajkavian Dramatic Works by Josip Kovačević

Abstract

The paper analyses the language of the Kajkavian drama works published in Dramska djela (2003) by Josip Kovačević (1936). The analysis will show the extent to wich author’s modern Kajkavian literary language includes diachrony (knowledge of the language of old Kajkavian literature) and synchrony (contemporary Turopolje speeches, especially the Buševec speech, whose author is the native speaker).
