Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis attempts to answer the following research questions: What are the internal trends and dynamics of language usage in each of these three countries? What is the relationship between official policies and actual language use? The political union of southern Slavs in the multiethnic state of Yugoslavia came to a violent end in the 1990s. The joint Serbo-Croatian language also ceased to exist as an official language when the Yugoslav successor states Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia identified only Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian as their respective official languages. Language use in these states became a political tool used to emphasize the differences among the ethnicities and to gauge ethnic loyalty. For example, Croatia endeavored to "cleanse" its language of any characteristics in common with the joint Serbo-Croatian language. Serbian nationalists rejected the Latin alphabet and insisted on using the Cyrillic alphabet. Bosniaks recognized a Bosnian language that was not acknowledged by Bosnia's ethnic Croats or ethnic Serbs. While language previously had been a means to unite Balkan Slavs, it was now an instrument of nationalism wielded by politically motivated actors to widen the division among the ethnicities. Language disputes have not destroyed Yugoslavia, but they may hinder recovery and modernization. As each Yugoslav successor state strives toward integration into the European Union, political questions concerning language may polarize domestic politics and inhibit regional cooperation, thereby hampering efforts to carry out needed economic and political reforms.

Download or read book Language and Identity in the Balkans written by Robert D. Greenberg and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-03-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language rifts in the Balkans are endemic and have long been both a symptom of ethnic animosity and a cause for inflaming it. But the break-up of the Serbo-Croatian language into four languages on the path towards mutual unintelligibility within a decade is, by any previous standard of linguistic behaviour, extraordinary. Robert Greenberg describes how it happened. Basing his account on first-hand observations in the region before and since the communist demise, he evokes the drama and emotional discord as different factions sought to exploit, prevent, exacerbate, accelerate or just make sense of the chaotic and unpredictable language situation. His fascinating account offers insights into the nature of language change and the relation between language and identity. It also provides a uniquely vivid perspective on nationalism and identity politics in the former Yugoslavia.

Download or read book The Status of English in Bosnia and Herzegovina written by Louisa Buckingham and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Yugoslavia disintegrated in the early 1990s, competence in English was not widespread. This book explores how English came to be equated with economic survival for many during and after the ensuing war through a range of diverse social and professional contexts, from the classroom to the military to the International Criminal Court. While English provided social mobility for many, its abrupt arrival also contributed to the marginalization of those without the adequate language skills. The high level of international intervention in Bosnia and Herzegovina over the last two decades has contributed to a sense of normalization of the presence of English. Viewed as a far more complex issue than simple linguistic imposition, this book explores the widespread adoption of English and its effects on a nation recovering from war.

This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2020 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 2,60, University of Tuzla, language: English, abstract: This work discusses structural and semantic features that one form needs to have in order to be recognized as phraseme in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian language and trying to point out the importance of defining the phraseme as a structure that has at least two autosemantic components (not less than two). That is why the constructions treated differently in the phraseological literature are the main topic of this paper. Particular emphasis is placed on forms that do not meet this criterion but fully comply with the other requirements set by the definition of the phraseologism. Related to the indicated problem, the key question is whether a structural or semantic aspect of the considered constructions should be given an advantage, especially when the examples are compound words with its features.
