Grammatical Research on Croatian‑Glagolitic Texts: Syntactic and Derivational Topics (GlagGram)

In the project Grammatical Research on Croatian‑Glagolitic Texts: Syntactic and Derivational Topics (GlagGram), the corpus of Croatian-Glagolitic texts is being researched at the grammatical level, with a special emphasis on the issues of their morphology and syntax. The project continues the research that has been initiated on the topics of sentence complementation, competition in morphology and the morphology of the verbal aspect in Croatian Church Slavonic. The research draws on the existing resources of the Old Church Slavonic Institute, such as materials for the Dictionary of the Church Slavonic Language of the Croatian Redaction and the Beram digital database, while also developing new resources such as digitally enriching the word list of the Dictionary of the Church Slavonic Language of the Croatian Redaction with grammatical and derivational information. During the project, the Glossary of the Dictionary will be enriched with information on the presence of jat and jers in all entries, information on declension for nouns, and information on conjugation and aspectual derivation for verbs. The research on complementation will include the analysis of sentence complements of different groups of verbs in Croatian Church Slavonic and the relationship between the predicates of the main clause, the subordinators that introduce the complement clauses, and the predicates of the complement clause. The research on morphology will focus on prefixal and suffixal aspect formation, especially on the differences between the Croatian redaction and canonical Old Church Slavonic, and on the differences between old and modern Slavic languages. The research combines traditional paleoslavistic methods with newer theoretical approaches and quantitative methods.
