A VIEW INTO A LANGUAGE OF EMERIK PAVIĆ’S SERMON
Abstract
In this paper the author studies the language of a literary work “Prosvitljenje i ogrianje jesenog i zimnog doba iliti nediljne i svečane predike priko jeseni i zime dolazeće” of Emerik Pavić, Franciscan from the 18th century, who in addition to preaching works wrote occasional speeches in the Latin language, religious works, literary works with the biblical contents, poems, historical and medical documents. It is especially important to say that he supported and promoted Slavonian graphic letter which was established by the Franciscans. Attention has to be paid to the characteristics of his language: usage of tenses, cases, noun and adjective forms, question and exclamation marks, phrases etc.
