This article examines the section on inflectional and derivational morphology (“etymology”) in three reworkings of Adam Bohorič’s grammar: the version by Hippolytus Rudolphowertensis from 1715, the manuscript version from 1755, and the Klagenfurt version from 1758. The analysis shows that the changes in all three reworkings are not only significant, but the omissions and additions in these grammars offer an interesting insight into grammarians’ thought at that time.

The article provides a survey of linguistic attestations of Slovene in non-grammar publications and manuscripts by Janez Ludvik Schönleben, Matija Kastelec, Janez Vajkard Valvasor, Janez Svetokriški, Gregor Vorenc, and Hipolit Novomeški. Every text is furnished with a short introduction, an annotated translation to Slovene (or annotated transcription of the Slovene text), detailed analysis, information on the influence of the previous texts, influence of the treated fragment on the texts that followed, and a survey of literature concerning the treated fragment.

The article deals with chapters about syntax in three versions of Bohorič’s grammar: the Hipolit version from 1715, the manuscript version from 1755 and the Klagenfurt version from 1758. Analysis shows that in all three versions it is not simply a case of minor corrections, but rather that the omitted and added sections in these grammars offer an interesting insight into the thinking of grammarians of the time. The chapter on syntax provides a particularly good illustration of the dependence of grammars from 1755 to 1758 on the Hipolit version (and not directly on Bohorič’s version).

In the seventeenth century and first half of the eighteenth century, discrepancies between the traditional sixteenth-century written norm of the standard language and actual spoken language grew increasingly greater. This is reflected in theoretical introductions to certain books and grammars from this period. This article presents the basic emphases of these works and compares them with the situation in the sixteenth century.

The article examines the chapter on orthography in three revisions of Adam Bohorič’s grammar. The analysis shows that, in terms of reliance on Bohorič, this is one of the most original chapters in all three revisions, with numerous original solutions, strongly marked by the spirit of the age. Particularly original is the part on »pronunciation with respect to the use of letters,« dealing with issues that are also included in some linguistic introductions from the 17th and 18th cc., even if these introductions were not models for any of the revisions.
