The Language Situation for the Bosniaks on Both Sides of the Serbian/Montenegrin Border

Le résumé fourni par la source

Although the language formerly known most frequently as Serbo-Croatian has ceased to exist, its successor languages — Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin, and Serbian — continue to evolve, and the relationships among the four new ethnically-defined languages often still evoke confusion and occasional controversy. As Vajzović (2008) suggests, the insistence among politicians, linguists, and leading intellectuals on the separateness of the ethnic languages of Bosnia-Herzegovina (Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian) has underscored the symbolic value of languages, often at the expense of the communicative function of language.
