- Abstract
The paper analyzes feminine/masculine relations in the selected Croatian grammar books and dictionaries from pre-standard period to the publishing of Parčić's dictionary in 1901. The aim of the paper is to answer the question in what way were such relations presented by grammarians and to what extent are these nouns present in the dictionaries. On the one hand, the grammar books and dictionaries reflected the usage and written practice of the time, and on the other, they mirror the inventiveness of the authors in filling the existing lexical gaps with new elements formed by compounding and derivation. Such word formation was very characteristic for the pre-standard period of the Croatian language. Thus grammar books and dictionaries are an example of language usage and a source for historical analysis of language on all levels. The corpus for this analysis consists of three grammar books and four dictionaries. In order to gain a better insight into the subject, we selected dictionaries which differ in size, purpose, and kind. On the basis of the analysis of the concept of feminine/masculine relations in older Croatian grammar books and dictionaries, the problem connected with the Croatian terminology of feminine/masculine relations has been noticed and a solution for the revision of the definition for the purpose of language history research has been offered.
