| description | The accent marking style in the work <i>Naglasni sustav standardnoga hrvatskog jezika</i> (<i>The accentual system of standard Croatian</i>) by Bratoljub Klaić reminded me, as its reviewer, of the ways in which accents were marked in some older Croatian grammars. Analysing Klaić’s style and the style of the mentioned grammars, we can conclude that there is a difference of marking accents between ‘the old style’ and ‘the new style’, where in fact ‘the old style’ is not very old.
Among Croatian scholars’ works that focus on the Croatian language those that are concerned with accentuation are rather rare. Therefore, at this conference, which is in part dedicated to the accentologist Bratoljub Klaić, we had an opportunity to discuss the differences in the accent marking style between the time when Klaić lived and wrote (about fifty years ago), and the style applied in more recent times. The differences between various accent marking styles are quite obvious. In this paper I am addressing the difficulties in the modern marking of standard Croatian accents, primarily those concerning syllables with a long reflex of the old sound <i>jat</i>, and the reasons why those difficulties occurred.
The paper primarily focuses on the difference between Klaić’s and the modern accent marking of the long (two-syllable) substitution of the <i>jat</i>. Although some linguists consider it to be the syllable <i>ie</i>, words such as <i>snijeg</i>, <i>brijeg</i>, etc. <b>can</b> be divided into syllables, which means that there are two syllables in those words, not just one. This may be seen as the main difference between Klaić and the accent marking in contemporary works concerning the standardization of the Croatian language. |
