| Description | The different aspects that affect the understanding and the social and political stress over the questions of the standard language in the area where today live Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks and Montenegrins reflected also over the content of certain articles in the constitutions concerning language. The importance of the symbolic meaning of language is not obvious only in the constitutions of practically all post-Yugoslav republics, formed after 1990 (the articles about language are in the beginning of the text of the constitution). We can see it also in the first constitutions of monarch Yugoslavia, in the language laws of Ustaša's Croatia, in the directives of AVNOJ and in the constitution of SR B&H from 1974. The politisation of the question of standard language in the Serbo-Croatian area (its name, history, form) is so great in the last 22 years and many times makes difficult or unables the objective scientific view over the problem. |
