Purizam u proučavanju srpskog kao manjinskog jezika: srpsko-mađarski jezički kontakt

Abstract

U radu se ispituje purizam u akademskom diskursu o srpskom kao manjinskom jeziku. Izlaže se kratka istorija pojma purizma, kao i njegovih strategija i ciljeva. Zastupa se teza da se akademska tradicija i ’narodna’ lingvistička ideologija srpskog ne odlikuju etnički ili nacionalno usmerenim purizmom, nego pre „ideologijom standardnog jezika“. Ova teza se elaborira u analizi akademskih radova o srpsko-mađarskoj jezičkoj interferenciji u pisanom jeziku Srba iz Mađarske.

The paper discusses linguistic purism in the Serbian academic discourse. Initially, the problem of purism as a theoretical notion, a language planning device and a particular linguistic ideology is analyzed. Consequently, it is argued that Serbian academic linguistic tradition alongside ’folk linguistic’ ideology are not characterized by ethnically or nationally oriented purism, but rather by the ’Standard language ideology’. This type of purism implicitly or explicitly takes standard as the only variety worth of being called ’language’ and its norm as the authoritative cannon in comparison to which all linguistic expressions and features are evaluated and measured. This thesis is elaborated through a case study of the Serbian academic discourse on Serbian-Hungarian language contact in the written journalistic language of the Serbs in Hungary.
