  • Digraphs in Sava Mrkalj's Writing System
    Digraphs in Sava Mrkalj’s Writing System Shuko Nishihara Abstract Sava Mrkalj is known for his role in the reformation of the writing sys- tem of the Serbian literary language, as he proposed the new Cyrillic writing system in his work Salo debeloga jera libo azbukoprotres [Fat of the Thick Jer, or Alphabet Reshuffling](henceforth, Fat of the Thick Jer) (1810). Compared to the system established by Vuk Karadžić, Mrkalj’s writing system is imperfect and transitional, because its alphabet system retains four digraphs (дь, ль, нь, and ть) against the phonemic principle of his reform. This article discusses how Mrkalj’s alphabet system main- tains consistency, reflecting his order of priority. Keywords: Serbian language, Cyrillic letters, Sava Mrkalj, language standardization, orthographic reform. 1. Introduction Modern standard Serbian orthography is based on the principle of one sound corresponding to one letter, and although exceptions exist, the language may be “read as it is written,” to use the words of Johann Christoph Adelung.1 Nineteenth-century Serbian linguist, folklorist, and 1 Johann Christoph Adelung (1732–1806), German grammarian and philolo- gist. His main works include Attempt at a Complete Grammatical-Critical Dic- tionary of the High German Dialect (1774–1786) and a German Grammar for - 65 - SHUKO NISHIHARA man of letters Vuk Karadžić2 is known for the modernization of the ver- nacular Serbian alphabet and the completion of the original form of its orthography, but it should be pointed out that Karadžić referred to Sava Mrkalj’s writing system for his linguistic reform. This article will show how Mrkalj’s writing system, put forth in Fat of the Thick Jer (1810), was linked to Karadžić’s orthography.

  • The Contribution of Czech Musicians to Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century Musical Life in Slovenia
    The Contribution of Czech Musicians to Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century Musical Life in Slovenia Jernej Weiss Studies so far have not given a thorough and comprehensive overview of the activities of Czech musicians in the musical culture of Slovenia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This article thus deals with the question of the musical, social and cultural influences of Czech musicians in Slovenia in the period discussed. More precisely: in which areas, how and to what extent did in particular the most important representatives of the Czech musicians in Slovenia contribute? The numerous Czech musicians working in Slovenia in the 19th and early 20th century actively co-created practically all areas of musical culture in Slovenia. Through their acti- vities they decisively influenced the musical-creative, musical-reproductive, musical-peda- gogical and musical-publicist areas, and strongly influenced the transition from a more or less musically inspired dilettantism to a gradual rise in terms of quality and quantity of musical culture in Slovenia. Those well-educated Czech musicians brought to Slovenia the creative achievements of musical culture in Czech lands. Taking into account the prevalent role of Czech musicians in Slovenia, there arises the question whether – with regard to the period in question – it might be at all reasonable to speak of “Slovenian Music History” or better to talk about “History of Music in Slovenia”. It is quite understandable that differences exist between music of different provenances; individual musical works are therefore not only distinguished by their chronological sequence and related changes in style, but also by different geographic or sociological (class, cultural, and even ethnic) backgrounds.1 Yet the clarity of these characteristics varies, for they cannot be perceived in precisely the same way or observed with the same degree of reliability in a musical work.2 In this respect, the national component causes considerable difficulties.

  • Chapter One Inventing the Linguistic Monuments of Europe1
    Chapter One Inventing the Linguistic Monuments of Europe1 No one, professional historian or member of the interested public, comes to the Middle Ages without preconceptions, assumptions, and expectations about this long period of European history. These preconceptions derive not only from popular media including film, fiction, and the internet, but also from centuries of debate and fashioning and refashioning of this long period by scholars who sought not only to understand the past but to mobilize it for debates about their own presents. The Middle Ages have never been merely academic—the continuing fascination with the medieval world has always had implications for the understanding of the present, a search for those models, paradigms, and structures, both social and mental, that define the present. Essential to this process has always been the search for those objects and especially those texts generated during this period, and concomitantly the search for how to understand these documents. The two are intimately interconnected: the selection and privileging of specific documents has always been in relationship to the questions historians have asked, and documents, as they are discovered or rediscovered are made to fit into patterns of meaning by the scholars who have discovered them. While the search for medieval texts has been carried on since the sixteenth century for a spectrum of religious, political, and ideological reasons, the Middle Ages that we study is for better or worse largely a construct of the nineteenth century. Our corpus of sources owe their preservation and publication to the passion of long-forgotten scholars who sought them out because they hoped that they would answer specific questions about the past and the present, questions and interpretations that subsequent generations of scholars and the general public have largely accepted without question.

  • Causes of the New Suffering of the Serbian Orthodox Church
    UDC: 159.964.2(497) Review paper Recived: November 25, 2019. Acceptee: December 26, 2019 Coreresponding author: [email protected] THE UNREMOVED CONSEQUENCES OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR - CAUSES OF THE NEW SUFFERING OF THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH Jovan Janjić Faculty of Business Studies and Law. [email protected] Abstract: The non-elimination of the consequences of occupation in some parts of Yugoslavia in World War II, as well as preventing and obstructing from the Yugoslav state the elimination of the con- sequences of the war suffering of the Serbian Orthodox Church, will prevent and disable the Church in certain parts of its canonical territory and endanger, destroy and confiscate its property. This will then lead to a new suffering of the Serbian people, while putting the legal successor state of Yugoslavia to additional temptations. Non-return of property to the Serbian Church will be especially in favor of secessionist forces that threaten the territorial integrity of Serbia. Keywords: Serbian Orthodox Church, Yugoslavia, Serbia, occupation, property, usurpation INTRODUCTION The revolutionary communist authorities in Yugoslavia, in an effort to establish a social order by their ideological standards, relied on some of the consequences of the occupation in World War II. Especially in policymaking on the national issue and in relation to the Church. After taking power in the country - by conducting a revolution while waging a war for liberation from occupation - Yugoslavia’s new governing nomenclature, legitimized as such during the Second World War, was not content with establishing a state order, only on the basis of a single, exclusive ideology, but it penetrated the civilizational frameworks of state jurisdiction and went about creating the whole social order.

  • 1 Andreja Eržen (Ljubljana Graduate School of Humanities, Slovenia
    Andreja Eržen (Ljubljana Graduate School of Humanities, Slovenia) AFFIRMATION OF THE SLOVENIAN LANGUAGE Slovenian grammars and dictionaries from 16 th to 19 th century 1. Introduction One of the main questions, which appear very often in the Slovenian linguistics, is the problem of the construction of the national language and its link with the national consciousness. Must or should this national language be identical to the language of the people? And who this “people” really are: peasants in the village, bourgeoisie in the towns, the clergy or the few intellectuals? The period between 16 th and 19 th century was the most vivant and important for the development of the dialects, spoken on Slovene territories. Until the middle of the 19 th century Slovene philologists succeeded to create the basis for the literary language, based on the central Slovenian dialect. During the history of the language and its development, three questions appeared to be most present: − The relation between Slovenian language/its dialects and other Slavic languages, − The relation of the peripheral literary dialects to the central standard, − The role of the sixteenth-century norm for the modern language. During the centuries grammars and dictionaries played an important role in the development of the languages. The 16 th century presents a turning point in the history of a language; the protestant writers began to write in their native language. Their main aim was to make the ecclesiastical rituals comprehensible to the people. It was also the time of the first grammars, describing vernaculars, although mostly in Latin. The Protestantism gave three main pillars, on which the national language was later on constructed: first grammar (Adam Bohori č, Arcticae Horulae , 1584), first dictionary (Hieronimus Megiser, Dictionairium quatuor linguarum, videlicet germanicae, latinae, illyricae, 1592) and first translation of the Bible (Jurij Dalmatin, Biblia, tv ie, vse svetv pismv, stariga inu noviga testamenta, slovenski, tolmazhena, 1584).

Hasanusta (p. 628-638) A Serbian epic as a call to exterminate the “Race Betrayers”: The Mountain Wreath by Petar Petrovic Njegos Ümit HASANUSTA1 APA: Hasanusta, Ü. (2019). A Serbian epic as a call to exterminate the “Race Betrayers”: The Mountain Wreath by Petar Petrovic Njegos. RumeliDE Dil ve Edebiyat Araştırmaları Dergisi, (16), 628-638. DOI: 10.29000/rumelide.619628 Abstract The world history witnessed a really dramatic civil war in 1990s in the Balkans. Peoples that lived together for hundreds of years experienced the most violent results of nationalist ideology with the demise of Yugoslavia. Serbs are one of the nations that involved in this civil war an in this period, their conflicts with especially Bosnian Muslims and Croats provided that the term “Serbian nationalism” is heard a lot in the world. Similarly with many other nations in history, the emergence and development of the idea of nationalism for Serbs started in 19th century. Serbs, who lived under the rule of empires, especially the Ottoman Empire, carried out the first rebellion against the Ottomans in 1804 and in this period, Serbian intellectuals were also attempting to create a national consciousness at the same time. These attempts to create a national language and literature would help this consciousness to improve and they would show their effect in that time and in the following century, as well. Even in the fall of Yugoslavia, the effect of this national mythology developed as a result of these efforts is seen clearly.

  • Serbia and the Serbian Rebellion in Croatia (1990-1991)
    Serbia and the Serbian Rebellion in Croatia (1990-1991) By Harry Jack Hayball Thesis submitted to Goldsmiths College, University of London, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2015 Supervised by Professor Jan Plamper 2 Declaration All the work presented in this thesis is my own. Harry Jack Hayball Declaration 3 Abstract It is often suggested that the Serbian rebellion in Croatia in 1990-91 was orchestrated by Serbia, and, in particular, by its president Slobodan Milošević personally. Despite the popularity of this interpretation, however, the literature on the break-up of Yugoslavia is yet to offer a focused study of Serbia's role in the descent into conflict in Croatia. Many sources that have become available in recent years remain unused. Through a critical and cautious use of such sources, including extensive interviews with participants in the conflict and contemporary documentation, this thesis aims to fill this gap in the literature and to update our knowledge of this important aspect of the bloody disintegration of Yugoslavia. Honing in on Belgrade's relationships with Serb political and military/paramilitary leaders in Croatia, as well as Serbia's direct involvement in and attitude towards the road to war, it concludes that the existing focus on Milošević's Serbia has been misplaced. Serbia's stance towards Croatia was hardline, but Belgrade's influence over the Croatian Serbs was limited and its direct involvement in events minimal. Milošević did not have a grand plan to orchestrate violence in Croatia, and the leaders of the Serbian rebellion in Croatia were fundamentally independent and autonomous actors, who, far from being Milošević's puppets, were often in conflict with him.
