Abstract
Starting from the hypothesis that the language of a literary work is an autonomous,
artificial form of language, we can conclude that in novel Kurlani it has been realized
in three autonomous realizations. These are: rural Kurlan speech (characterized by the
selectively inserted specific qualities of Dalmatian new štokavian ikavian speech and
the standard language and the weak functional stratification), the urbane speech of the
inhabitants of Sinj (with the same dialectal base as the rural speech, but much more
influenced by the standard language and with much greater functional stratification)
and the narrative discourse of the novel (which is close to the standard language as it
was at the time when the novel was written, but includes numerous interventions of
the writer on all levels of the language). All three levels of the language together
make the authorial language of M. Božić in this novel. Each of them is in a
relationship with the world it creates. (Language in a literary work is world forming,
just as its world is language-forming.) The world of the novel Kurlani is constructed
by language and can be understood and perceived only if its language is understood
and perceived. If its language would be even slightly different, the novel Kurlani
would not be what it is.
