Syntactic Features of the Franciscan Koine in Literary Works of Father Emerik (Mirko) Pavi？

Sa？etak This paper investigates linguistic, especially syntactic, characteristics of some prose and metrical works of the Franciscan Father Emerik (Mirko) Pavi？, who lived in Budim on the Danube, with respect to the Franciscan Koine of the Croatian Koine spread from the Adriatic to the Pannonia by the Franciscan authors of the 17th and, especially, 18th century. The analysis is based on the selected corpus of the author’s texts: Ru？na knji？ica za utiloviti u zakon katoli？anski obra？enike (1769.), two sermans from Prosvitljenje i ogrianje jesenog i zimnog doba iliti nediljne i sve？ane predike priko jeseni i zime (1762.) and Cvit likarije (1768.). Based on the relevant syntactic features of the Franciscan Koine, the mentioned prose and poetic texts are comparatively analyzed to determine to what extent Father Emerik Pavi？ follows the Franciscan Koine of the 18th century. Results of the analysis show that the language of Father Emerik Pavi？ undeniably follows this linguistic and literary tradition, but presents us with some syntactic peculiarities depending on the theme (sermon, medical topics, etc.) and the genre (prose, poetry) of sigle literary texts
