Hrvatski Dijalektoloski Zbornik
Scope & Guideline
Charting the Evolution of Language in Croatia
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Dialect Documentation and Analysis:
The journal emphasizes the documentation of various local dialects, including their phonological, morphological, and syntactic features. This includes detailed studies of specific dialects, such as Kajkavian and Stokavian, and their unique characteristics. - Cultural and Historical Context of Dialects:
Research often explores the relationship between dialects and cultural phenomena, including literature, folklore, and historical developments. This aspect highlights how language reflects cultural identity and regional history. - Comparative Linguistic Studies:
The journal publishes comparative analyses of dialects within the Croatian language as well as with other South Slavic languages. This includes examining linguistic features across different dialects and establishing connections between them. - Prosodic and Phonological Research:
A significant focus is placed on the prosodic features of dialects, including intonation, stress patterns, and rhythm. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the phonological systems in various local dialects. - Dialect Lexicography:
The journal includes studies on the vocabulary and idiomatic expressions of local dialects, enriching the lexicon available for researchers and speakers of Croatian dialects.
Trending and Emerging
- Digital Linguistics and Linguistic Projects:
Projects like the JAPRK (Linguistic atlas of the maritime and fishing culture in Dalmatia and Kvarner) highlight the trend towards using digital tools for linguistic documentation and analysis, indicating a shift towards more collaborative and technology-driven research. - Prosodic Studies:
There is a growing emphasis on prosodic features within local dialects, as seen in several recent articles. This focus is crucial for understanding the rhythmic and intonational aspects of speech, which are often overlooked in traditional dialect studies. - Dialect Variation in Context:
Recent papers are increasingly contextualizing dialect studies within broader socio-cultural frameworks, examining how dialects are used in specific social settings and their role in identity formation. - Morphological and Syntactic Characteristics:
Research on the morphological and syntactic structures of local dialects has gained momentum, reflecting a deeper interest in how these aspects contribute to the overall linguistic landscape of Croatian.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Linguistics of Standard Croatian:
There has been a noticeable decrease in publications focusing on the historical development of Standard Croatian compared to dialect studies. This shift may reflect an increased interest in contemporary dialects rather than their historical evolution. - General Linguistic Theory Applications:
Papers applying general linguistic theories to Croatian dialects have become less common. The journal seems to be favoring more empirical and localized studies over broader theoretical frameworks. - Cross-linguistic Comparisons:
While comparative studies have been a staple, there appears to be a waning interest in extensive cross-linguistic comparisons with non-Slavic languages. The current trend favors in-depth analysis within the Slavic language family.
