Hrvatski jezik, pravopis i jezična politika u NDH
Marko Samardžija's book analyzes in detail the linguistic situation in the Independent State of Croatia (1941-1945), with special emphasis on spelling reforms, political decisions and their impact on the Croatian language.
The author investigates how language becomes a means of ideological propaganda and how the NDH authorities tried to shape Croatian linguistic identity through administrative decisions, spelling solutions and the banning of Serbian language elements.
Samardžija chronologically presents the adoption of spelling rules and the introduction of new grammatical and lexical norms, including the elimination of the Cyrillic alphabet, the adaptation of foreign words and the promotion of a "pure" Croatian language. It also analyzes the key linguists of that period, their positions and role in the implementation of language policy.
This book provides an objective and scientifically based presentation of a sensitive topic, offering insight into the broader context of language policy in the 20th century. It is especially useful for linguists, historians and anyone who wants to understand the relationship between language, ideology and politics in turbulent times.
