Dositej Obradovic was the most important Serbian proponent of the Enlightenment and adherent of Emperor Joseph II, the first writer who wanted to introduce the Serbian popular speech as literary language instead of the so-called Slaveno-Serbian (which was an arbitrary mixture of Church Slavonic and popular Serbian). His Autobiography, Part One, of 1783, was the beginning of his literary activities. The Second Part of the Autobiography, object of our edition, was published in 1788. His book was printed in Leipzig, where Obradovic happened to live at that time, and he took care of the printing and chose the language. The Autobiography marks the beginning of the modern literary Serbian language. The computer-supported edition of the Second Part of the Autobiography in its original Cyrillic alphabet aims – like the edition of the First part – at providing the user with a reliable tool for further investigation of Dositej’s language and, more generally, of the Serbian language of the second half of the 18th century. The complete concordance is provided with head words (it is lemmatized) so that is is a complete dictionary of the text at the same time. The head words are arranged according to the modern Serbian Cyrillic alphabet. Furthermore, the book contains a concordance à tergo (which is useful for morphological investigations), and two word lists: one containing the head words in their Serbian alphabetical order, the other arranging them according to their frequency. more...
