Summary: The research of the Croatian language history is in its nature a longlasting project. It consists of 1. the research of all language levels (graphic and orthographic, phonological, morphological, syntactic, lexical and stylistic) of texts of Croatian literacy in the widest sense, from the first written monuments till the end of the 19th century in order to determine develepment tendencies in particular dialects and in the formation of the Croatian Literary Language, 2. the compilation of a historical grammar of the Croatian Literary Language, 3. critical editons of all old texts in all three scripts (Latin, Glagolitic, Cyrillic - Bosančica), 4. the research of the history of language studies, i.e. analysis of the known as well as unknown published and manuscript dictionaries, grammars, orthographic manuals and schoolbooks in order to determine the place of the Croatian philology in the European context and its meaning in the formation of the Croatian language conscience and by this the Croatian national being, 5. the research of etymology and semantic descrption of certain lexemes and lexicological classes in order to get an integral description of the Croatian Literary Language and a deeper understanding of its functioning.

Keywords: the history of the Croatian language, the history of the Croatian Literary Language, historical grammar, grammaticology, graphy, orthography, phonology, morphology, syntax, syntax and stylistics, the history of dialects, the history of philology, grammars, dictionaries, language manuals, manuscript monuments, etymology

Research goals: The aim of the research of the Croatian history is the scientific analysis of the Croatian language heritage throughout the centuries, from the first written documents to the end of the 19th century as well as etymological research of certain lexemes and lexicological classes. By the scientific analysis of the language of certain language monuments, writers and periods, a detailed description of all language levels on the syncronic plane for each monument or period is made. It is an unavoidable condition for the description of the language on its dyacronic plane, i.e. for the compilation of a historical grammar of the Croatian language. The research of the historical development of Croatian philology and historical and culturological conditions in which it has developed gives an integral insight into the position of the Croatian language in the past and the development of the Croatian Literary Language. It is a foundation for the compilation of the historical grammar of the Croatian language. The aim of etymological research of certain lexicological classes and isolated lexems is to advance the description and explanation of the origin of the whole lexical fund of the Croatian language.
