Specific aspects of Bosnian linguistic expression of Makbuli Arif (1631)

Abstract

The paper provides basic elements of the limited linguistic analysis of Turkish-Bosnian / Bosnian-Turkish dictionary Makbuli-arif. The focus of the analysis is founded on more important divergent processes in words, in the domain of phonetical-phonological, morphological, and in much lesser number of syntactic properties, as well as in some other issues derived from the analysis. A lexical-semantic analysis has not been particularly attempted, because it would have significantly expanded the aforementioned study.
