Study of South Slavic Languages : Historical Aspects and Cultural Background in the 14〜15^<th> Centuries

这个研究项目的主要目的是研究西巴尔干南斯拉夫语言的历时方面。特别强调的是14-15世纪上述语言的文化特征问题。斯拉夫书面语言的传统可以追溯到19世纪末，当时西里尔和米多狄乌斯承担了将《圣经》翻译成斯拉夫语的使命，并将旧教会斯拉夫语的遗产留给了斯拉夫人民。然而，教会斯拉夫语流传到南斯拉夫民族国家，如波斯尼亚和塞尔维亚（拉斯卡），流传到拜占庭统治下的达尔马提亚城市，后来又传到威尼斯统治下的达尔马提亚城市，自12世纪以来，在与卡卡维亚语和斯托卡维亚语的地方方言接触的情况下，教会斯拉夫语开始在每个地区发展不同。鉴于这一历史背景，该研究集中分析了用上述西巴尔干斯拉夫语言编写的礼拜仪式和世俗文本，并研究了如何将新的文学传统形成为每个地区教会斯拉夫语言和当地语言的混合体。在研究项目的过程中，研究者认识到杜布罗夫尼克共和国在中世纪亚得里亚海地区的历史意义，并考察了它对南斯拉夫国家文化发展的贡献。最后的研究报告载有：对最古老的波斯尼亚西里尔文文件Povelja Kulina Bana（《库林班宪章》）的语言分析，根据该文件，波斯尼亚禁令允许杜布罗夫尼克的商人在波斯尼亚领土上自由贸易的权利；达尔马提亚和伊斯特拉地区格拉戈石器短石碑中西里尔-美托古传统的研究对教皇杜克雅宁编年史的一些评论，其文本是用拉丁文和卡卡维亚语和托卡维亚语混合写成的。

The main objective of this research project was to study diachronic aspects of the West Balkan South Slavic Languages. Particular emphasis was laid on questions of cultural-specific features of the said languages in the 14-15th centuries. The Slavic tradition of written language dates back to the end of 9^<th> century, when Cyril and Metodius undertook a mission to translate the Bible into Slavic and left the legacy of Old Church Slavic language to the Slavic people. The Church Slavic, however, having come down to the South Slavic nation states, such as Bosnia and Serbia (Raska), and to Dalmatian cities under the Byzantine and later under Venetian sovereignty, began to develop differently in each regions in contact situation with regional dialects of Cakavian and Stokavian since the 12^<th> century. In view of this historical background, the research focused attention on analysis of liturgical and secular texts written in the said West Balkan Slavic languages, and examined how new literary tradition was formulated as an amalgam of the Church Slavic and vernacular language in each region. In the course of research project, the researcher realized the historical significance of the Republic of Dubrovnik in the medieval Adriatic area, and examined its contribution to the cultural development of the South Slavic Nations. The final research report contains : Linguistic analysis of the oldest Bosnian cyrillic document Povelja Kulina Bana (The Charter of Kulin Ban) by which the Bosnian Ban allowed merchants of Dubrovnik the right of free trade in the territory of Bosnia ; Study of Cyril-Metodian tradition in glagolitic brevijars composed in Dalmatia and Istria; Some remarks on Ljetopis popa Dukljanina (The chronicle of pope Dukljanin), texts of which are written in Latin and in a mixture of Cakavian and tokavian.
