Standard Slovenian in the 16th Century, (Ljubljana, 17–19 April 2008)

Abstract

The linguistics symposium Standard Slovenian in the 16th Century took place in Ljubljana from 17 to 19 April 2008. This symposium, arranged by the Section for the History of Slovenian at the Fran Ramovš Institute of the Slovenian Language, included 32 presenters: 24 from Slovenia and 8 from abroad. A volume of paper summaries was published to mark the symposium. This volume includes comprehensive papers from individual linguistic levels for the past decades alongside a survey of the most important roles of Slovenian in the 16th century (including its nation-building role, its role as a medium of the gospel, and as a medium of other information), as well as a presentation of numerous linguistic issues associated with this language and the circumstances in which Trubar and his associates worked and made decisions about linguistic issues.
