Pregled gramatike hrvatskosrpskog jezika

A Survey of the Grammar of the Croatian-Serbian Language is an exceptionally influential and enduring work by prominent Croatian linguists Stjepko Težak and Stjepan Babić. Originally conceived as a school textbook and a handbook for teachers and students, this work—over the course of several decades and numerous editions—established itself as an indispensable reference for anyone engaged in the study, teaching, or application of linguistic norms. The book addresses all key levels of the linguistic system in a manner that is remarkably clear, systematic, and methodologically impeccable. It covers the phonological system (sounds, sound changes, and accentuation), grammatical categories and parts of speech (including morphology, such as declension and conjugation), and provides a rigorous analysis of syntactic rules and sentence structure. A particular strength of this handbook lies in its clear normative focus and its wealth of examples drawn from both literary and everyday usage. Written in a style that is accessible yet strictly scientific and pedagogical, this grammar has educated numerous generations of pupils, university students, and intellectuals. The work stands as a landmark achievement in the fields of Croatian studies and linguistic pedagogy from the second half of the 20th century.
