Kapović Mate

Summary

Mate Kapović: Language consultant for the 21st century

Are you interested in how to know where to write č and where to write and why many people have difficulties with this? Are you interested in where the problems with writing ije and je come from and is there any help? Is it possible to greet God too! and hello! and what is the origin of those greetings? Did both or both fall? Can t-shirts be checked and can homework be written at school? Are those who claim that there is no burek with cheese right? How do Croatian politicians, athletes and singers speak? (In the book, e.g. Oliver Dragojević, Goran Ivanišević, Kolinda Grabar Kitarović, Zoran Milanović, Andrej Plenković, Davor Šuker, Dražen Turina Šajeta and Alen Vitasović appear in cameo roles as illustrations of certain linguistic phenomena.) Do English words threaten Croatian? What does "proper" even mean in the language? This book gives you answers to these and similar popular questions about the language in a modern and scientifically based way, with numerous examples, a description of the real language in Croatia and references to local pop culture. "Language is actually a variation - language always varies spatially (in different regions and countries it is spoken differently), socially (different parts of society speak differently) and through time (the language today is not the same as the language of 100 years ago, nor will the language in 100 years be the same as it is today). (...) If there were no language changes, there would be no Croatian as we know it today, but all of us - from Bengal to Iceland (with the exception of non-Indo-Europeans such as Hungarians, Finns and Basque) ‒ they still spoke Proto-Indo-European. Or some even earlier proto-language that we don't know."
