| Summary: | The paper surveys research on Serbian grammar over the past fifty-odd years,
approximately from the 1970s up to the present day. The paper aims at
demonstrating the most relevant results of the study of Serbian grammar and
at emphasising the novelties in this period. The 1970s are a time in which
the study of Serbian was seen as a continuation of postwar research, and at
the same time results of more recent research were being introduced to
academic work, results of newer theories were being accepted, phenomena that
previously did not appear in the focus of attention in Serbian scholarship
were also being studied, and the research was founded on stylistically
diverse corpus of the Serbian language. That was also a time of the inclusion
of young academics who are still active today. New insights were given into a
number of phenomena that had been topics of earlier grammatical research, but
many linguistic items were also described that had been studied little or not
at all. Numerous blank spots in the grammatical description of Serbian were
filled in. It can be said that Serbian grammatical research in this period is
on a par with the achievement of global linguistic and Slavic scholarship.
All the above-mentioned leads to the conclusion that the past fifty years is
a period in which great results were achieved in the grammatical research of
Serbian. That facilitated the modernisation of instruments of the Standard
Serbian language. |
