Summary: The methodology of working on the reference books for
studyingCroatian by non-native students has being established and workedout
in details. So far has being done great deal of preliminarywork considering
listing and describing relevant language facts.The language levels and
their relations have been established,therefore one can now approach the
division of material on levelbases. Regarding all this it is decided that
in the first phasethere is a necessity to make divided reference books in
Croatianphonology, morphology, syntax and lexicology. Simultaneously,
thework on the reference grammar and reference dictionary willcontinue.
This phase would, if circumstances, specially assets,prevail normal, take
about five years. Until that, a secondaryschool textbooks of phonology,
morphology, syntax and lexicology,that are going to be published this year
and have being writtenby members of Department for contemporary Croatian
literarylanguage on Philosophical Faculty of Zagreb University, are goingto
be used. The school books mentioned above are mostly writtenon the
methodological bases also used in project. The Grammar ofCroatian
Dictionary (on diskette) which is going to be worked outthis year by
project's headmaster Josip Silić in collaborationwith information experts,
is also to be of great assistance. TheGrammar is written on the same
principles as the other referencebooks of the project are. Vladimir Anić
(as the member of theproject) did a great deal of work concerning
preliminary works onCroatian dictionary for studying Croatian on foreign
high schoolsand universities.
