Slavonian Language Reference Books in the 18th Century in European Context

Druga se polovica 18. stoljeća pokazala posebno plodnom za nastanak jezičnih priručnika koje su sastavljali slavonski autori u zemlji i izvan nje. Razlozi za to nalaze se u izvanjezičnim okolnostima. U radu će se tri najpoznatija slavonska jezična priručnika iz 18. stoljeća, Tadijanovićev, Relkovićev i Lanosovićev, promotriti izvan nacionalnih granica. Prikazat će se i usporediti njihov sadržaj i koncepcija s odabranim onodobnim europskim priručnicima, a kako bi se dopunila njihova dosadašnja istraženost te pokazali njihovi jezikoslovni dosezi u europskom kontekstu u drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća.Considerable productivity in writing of language reference books was shown in the second half of the 18th century by the Slavonian authors both those who worked at home as those who worked abroad.
