The linguistic analysis of the Psalter of the Akademy's Breviary on phonological & graphic level has shown that this croato-glagolic manuscript was written in Istria in the second half or at the end ...of the 14th century. It was determined based on the following graphic & phonological features: writing of jer, jat, derv, consonant cluster zd etc. The following linguistic features prove belonging of the breviary to the northern, conservative group: proper writing of stapic in the place of jer, correct keeping of jat, with unknown ekavian influence, traditional writing of zd, the examples poetb, prietb. For closer determination of the place of origin of BrAc we can use examples with the replacement of o by u: stupi (instead of stopi), neporucnb (instead of neporocnb), pugubitb (instead of pogubitb). The similar phenomenon has been noted in the dialect of Lipa (Opatian kras), as well as in some other north-western cakavian dialects. The analysis of the Breviary on the phonological & graphical level shows that the Psalter of BrAc has been written in more correct Church Slavonic language, in comparison with PsPar, & especially with PsLob.

Problems connected with the identification of loan translations, source language, & intermediary languages are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the problem of multiple intermediary languages. ...Focus here is on examples of loan translations which entered Croatian through Old Church Slavonic as the intermediary language. 37 References.

The purpose of the article is to examine the three points considering the meaning of the lexems of the Croatian Church Slavonic (abbr. CCS) stems nenavid- and mr(soft yer)z-. The first one is to ...recognize the meaning structures of the afore-mentioned stems, and to compare them. The second is to check the hypothesis that the CCS lexis of sentience pressumes the paradigm of passions and affect (best represented in Thomas Aquinas' Summa theologiae 1a.2ae.22-48) and not the paradigm of emotions which is in the contemporary science usually considered as universal. The third is to explore similarities and distinctions of the two stems since they lexicalize the two concupiscible passions, one of them (mr(soft yer)z-) neighboring an irascible passion. That last point aims at tackling the question whether the conceptual distinction of concupiscible and irascible passions is reflected in lexicalization or not. Analysis of the usage examples show that the lexems of the stem mr(soft yer)z realize more complex meaning structure intrinsically connected to the lexicalization of the concepts of sin and sinfullness. The emphasis of the stem nenavid- is placed more on the oposition of good and evil, and less on sin. The data regarding the two analyzed stems, especially in the area of the thematic roles (concerning relation of will and feelings) as well as of explications of the lexicalized circumstances (or more specifically: the moral aspect of feelings and expressing the circumstance of the manifestation of a particular feeling) show that the future research of the relation between the Thomas Aquinas' system of passions and the CCS lexis of sensitiveness could come to some interesting results. Finally, a number of the evident similarities and distinctions have been recognised between the analyzed stems, but still there is no solid enough basis to decide whether the conceptual difference of concupiscible and irascible passions reflects on lexicalization. It seems that only further research on lexicalization of some of the Aquinas' passions, if not of all of the eleven, can elucidate that issue. Adapted from the source document
The article examines and analyses the lamentation interjections in the corpus of the Croatian glagolitic texts excerpted for the Dictionary of the Croatian redaction of the Church Slavonic language. ...According to the analyzed material, the lamentation interjections are the most numerous and the most varied subgroup of interjections, and it includes eight interjections: a, gore, jo, oime, oh', uvi, eo and u. In comparison with other interjections, they are distinguished by the fact that, in most cases, they are not only syntactically independent but can control an adjunct in dative or genitive case. Along with that grammatical feature, i. e. the government of interjections, the article sets forth and exemplifies two other points: firstly, the recategorization of the lamentation interjections; secondly, the relation of the analyzed examples with the situation in the Latin and Greek text sources as well as in the Old Church Slavonic language.

The noun and verb features allow a wide range of usage and sentence roles of the infinitive: subject, object, indirect discourse, apositional, epexegetic and adverbial. The corpus of the archaic ...Church Slavonic psalter translation complete in content and language provides a good insight into the structural and syntactical means of expression of infinitival constructions in the Church Slavonic language and the opportunity of comparison with those found in the Greek original.

In this paper the simple verb forms in Hrvoje's Missal are analysed. They are compared to the corresponding characteristics of the verb system in the texts of Vatican codex Illirico 4, Novak's Missal ...and Roc Missal, as well as to the research results of the Croatian medieval liturgical and non-liturgical texts, including the canonical Old Church Slavonic texts. The analysis is conducted mainly on the morphological level, and to the extent allowed by the attested simple verb forms, the phonological and lexical features in Hrvoje's Missal are also analysed. The comparison with the parallel texts shows that on the morphological level the Old Church Slavonic patterns are well preserved, while on the lexical level and on the phonological level in particular, a certain frequency and consistency of more recent elements are present.

In this paper the prepositional phrases with special meanings in Croatian Church Slavonic are discussed. They are divided according to the type of movement and spatial relations presented. The first ...component of the meaning -- movement -- is typically expressed by case, and the second -- localization (spatial relation) -- by preposition. The author first discusses static and dynamic use of prepositions governing Locative and Accusative and then the inclusive and exclusive prepositional phrases with Locative and Instrumental respectively. Two chapters are dedicated to non-directional Accusative and directional Dative. The most common case in spatial prepositional phrases is Genitive. It is compatible with prepositions of various origins and meanings. The aim of the paper is not only to present various constructions with the same or similar meanings but also to point to relations between prepositions, prefixes, adverbs and nouns.

The recent research has shown that the first Croatian Glagolitic missal that has been consistently edited according to the Vulgate was the Simun Kozicic Benja's Misai hruacki. The deviations from the ...language norm of the earlier Croatian Glagolitic missals seem to be the result of a thorough redaction of the biblical text according to Vulgate (Latin) text, and the relation between the Old Slavonic and the Old Croatian elements was studied and accordingly arranged. It is assumed that Kozicic used some contemporary Latin missal in the preparation of his text. If that was the case, the Latin influence is more expected on the syntactic level. The usage of participles is one of the syntactic features that can help in discerning different language influences originated from the source text. The participles and the participle constructions are used very often in Misal hruacki and generally they faithfully follow the Vulgate text. As the usage diversity is their distinctive feature, the present active participle and the perfect active participle I are chosen to be analyzed in this article, with the focus on their different syntactic functions. By this research we wish to contribute to a better understanding of the syntax of Misal hruacki, and of the literary language used in the Rijeka Glagolitic printing house editions in general.
