THE LANGUAGE OF THE »RITUAL RIMSKI« -AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CROATIAN LITERARY LANGUAGE

Autor raspravlja o mjestu Kašićeva jezika u Ritualu rimskom u povijesti hrvatskoga književnog jezika i analizom nekih tekstova zaključuje da se Kašićev jezik uklapa u njegov neprekinuti razvojni tok od 17. stoljeća do danas, da od tada u njemu nema lomova ni usjeka, nego da je taj tok cjelovit bar 350 godina i da se početak te cjeline mora pomaći bar na prvu polovicu 17. stoljeća, a podrazumijeva se i prije, samo što to prelazi okvire ove rasprave.The author discusses the place of Kašić\u27s language in the »Ritual rimski« in the history of the Croatian literary language. In his analysis of some of the texts he concludes that Kašić\u27s language forms an integral part of its continuous development starting from the seventeenth century up to the present. This development has been uninterrupted for at least 350 years, and its beginning should be shifted to the first half of the seventeenth century, probably even earlier, but this is outside the scope of this study
