Abstract

The paper analyses the language of a book of prayers dating from 1835 which was composed by an unknown author and intended for soldiers when attending the Holy Mass. It was written in the Shtokavian -Ikavian dialect. Beside spelling and orthographic analyses, additional emphasis is put on lexical analysis. Since the German original is unknown, the lexical analysis focuses on ecclesiastical terms and word formation. The first researches of the terms (Pridobrostivi, Vira, Posvetilište, Puti Uskersnutje, Iskernji) point to continuity and an advanced standardisation of ecclesiastical terms since the 18th century which was previously confirmed in catechisms. It is possible to prove that the booklet was translated within the Franciscan community as well as that the author was a priest who knew the soldiers living in the Slavonian area, i.e. the Military Frontier. At that time the soldiers were protecting the border to the Ottoman Empire. The booklet came into existence when Josephinism was at its peak and the state politics of the former Habsburg Monarchy managed to covertly control the work of the Church.
