The Institute of Slavic Studies at AMU invites you to the (Non)standard in language - politics - culture lecture series.
The lecture on "What is a stake with a Montenegrin standard language?" given by prof. Marc Greenberg from the University of Kansas will be held on December 12th, at 6 pm via MS Teams Platform.
"In the post-Yugoslav context, the bipolar Serbo-Croatian standard language, centred around the two capitals, Belgrade and Zagreb, has yielded to the revival of an additional two renewed standardization projects, Bosnian and Montenegrin. Of these, the Montenegrin project remains the most highly contested, as it is abnegated by its detractors in both Serbia and Montenegro itself. The centre of gravity of this project is not in the country’s capital, Podgorica, but in Cetinje, the old royal capital.
The talk will break down issues into several themes to convey the intersection of the heterogeneous realms of concern:
1. Substance. 2. Form. 3. Political allegiance. 4. Writing and philological traditions. 5. Relationship to other post-Yugoslav standardization projects."
