JEDAN POGLED NA REŠAVANjE PROBLEMA SRPSKOG JEZIKA U DOBA TRANZICIJE

The paper argues that the problems of the Serbian language in the time of transition can be solved at least partially by responsible actions of Serbian linguists within the disciplines they deal with. In conditions when other nations without any hesitation declare the Serbian tangible and intangible cultural heritage their own, Serbs can and must respond in only one way ‒ by writing capital works in which they will describe the Serbian language and provide future generations with material and evidence for an increasingly fierce struggle, whose goal will be to defend what belongs to the Serbian language and Serbian heritage. If we fail to do that, future generations will be forced to use other nations’ capital works, in which facts are often falsified.
