Summary: Since the prescribed accentual norm of the Croatian
literarylanguage went one way and the real used norm the other way,
therewas a necessity in Croatian linguistics, specially in itsnormativity,
to establish the accentual norm on proper basis -Croatian idioms with
western dialect as nucleus. Hence theCroatian standard accentuation will be
established, to the mostfavourable depth and extension, on the basis of the
Western NewŠtokavien accentuation and other idioms with the
parallelevolution, in order to classify Croatian accentual norm in one
ofthe fundamental books scienifically based, and usable andacceplable to
any user.
Keywords: Accentology, Croatian, normative, accentuation, Western New Štokavien, organic, standard, Croatian idioms, evolution, parallel, prosodic.
Research goals: The primary aim of this project is: theoretical
foundation and development of the Croatian normative accentology and, at
the same time, disposition of the completely concrete standard norm based
on its live basis - Croatian organic accentuation purified in autonomous
standard consciousness. All this will be presented in an extensive book
including the origins, the internal system and developmental tendencies of
standard accentuation to serve, with its theoretical part and non
alphabetic accentual typological dictionary, to further accentual research
work, and with the register and mentioned dictionary to all who are
interested in standard accents and in the first place, to people having
literary language as their professional menas. Other information about the project.
