Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, a Textbook: With Exercises and Basic Grammar

By Ronelle Alexander and Ellen Elias-Bursać

Book Overview

With the disintegration of Yugoslavia has come a shifting of linguistic boundaries, chiefly along political lines. Out of this complex situation three official languages have emerged: Croatian in Croatia, Serbian in Serbia, and both these languages plus Bosnian in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, a Textbook introduces the student to all three. Dialogues and exercises appear in each language, presented side by side for easy comparison; in addition, Serbian is rendered in both its Latin and its Cyrillic spellings. Teachers may choose a single language to use in the classroom, or they may want to familiarize students with all three. Features of the textbook include: -All dialogues, exercises, and homework assignments available in Bosnian, Croatian, or Serbian
-Classroom exercises designed for both small-group and full-class work, allowing for maximum oral participation
-Reading selections written by Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian authors especially for this book
-Vocabulary lists for each individual section and full glossaries at the end of the book
-A short animated film, on an accompanying DVD, for use with chapter 15
-Brief grammar explanations after each dialogue, with cross-reference to more detailed grammar chapters in Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, a Grammar

Available separately, the audio supplement (ISBN 0-299-22110-5) offers audio recordings of all dialogues in Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian, a Textbook.
