Three decades since Isaković's text language reminder from the Bosnian Language: Application and perception of Bosnian normative solutions

Abstract

The paper presents the principles that were used in the process of creating the Bosnian language norm, after the return of this language to official streams, and the part that Alija Isaković had in that process, especially in connection with the text Basic characteristics of the Bosnian language with repercussions in the official Bosnian language norm in the first modern Bosnian language orthographic manual from 1996. The paper underlines Isaković's commitment to the search for normative solutions in the Bosnian language based on the principles of etymology, grammatical regularity, the Bosnian literary and linguistic tradition and its foundation in the folk idioms of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
