  Vuk Stefanović Karadžić - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vuk Stefanović Karadžić (Вук Стефановић Караџић) (November 7, 1787 - February 7, 1864) was a Serb linguist and major reformer of the Serbian language.
His first name "Vuk" means "wolf", which he was given because all his brothers and sisters died of Tuberculosis, leaving him the sole survivor.
Although the above quotation is usually attributed to Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, it is in fact an orthographic principle devised by the German grammarian and philologist Johann Christoph Adelung.

 Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic
Vuk Stefanović Karadžić (Вук Стефановић Караџић) (October 26, 1787 - January 26, 1864) was a Serb linguist, reformer of what today is most commonly known as the Serbo-Croatian language, though he himself called it Serbian language.
He was born in the village of Tršić[?], near Loznica[?] in Serbia; his first name "Vuk" means "wolf".

 AIM25: School of Slavonic and East European Studies: Karadzic Collection
Karadzic's goal became to make the Serb language spoken by peasants under Turkish rule the literary norm in place of the classical style.
In 1832 Karadzic returned to Vienna after his newly published alphabet was banned by Obrenovic as a result of opposition from the Orthodox Church.
Karadzic also wrote works on Serbian history and the life and customs of Serbian peasants and published collections of folk songs.

 www.spacesofidentity.net — Greenawalt: Kosovo Myths
It is here that Vuk Karadzic's four volumes of Serbian National Songs, published sequentially between 1841 and 1862, and preceded by a slimmer 1815 version, assume central importance.
The key figure, once again, is Vuk Karadzic, the “founder of modern Serbian culture,”[18] although his ultimate importance in the construction of the modern Kosovo myth lies not in the actual poems he collected but rather in the process that that collection represented.
And if Vuk's archival structures did not adequately embrace the actual material he collected, this was largely beside the point, as a generation of nationalist writers would fill in the gaps and inscribe a newer, cleaner memory.

In the Dinaric tradition (see versions in VUK and Bill), the wife is portrayed as leaving her husband helpless on the battlefield.
Alternatively, she joins the enemy and ignores the cries of her young son (VUK, volume 3, no. 7) or she deserts to the enemy, is reluctant to be rescued, and wounds her husband (VUK, volume 2, no. 44).
In all cases, the wife's treachery is unmotivated, and in all but one version (VUK, volume 2, no. 44), she is punished by being burnt alive.

 "Vuk Karadzic" (1987)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The series recounts the life and times of Vuk Karadzic, the man who created the Serbo-Croatian grammar and spelling, and sampled countless folk tales and issued them.
The acting is superb and the unknown actor playing Vuk as a young man really puts a lot of weight in his performance, specially considering he was virtually unknownbefore this.
This is at times a quite brutal show, but always fascinating to watch, specially for those who are interested in Karadzic's life and work and Serbia's and Balkan's history in the late 18th to mid 19th century.

The reform was based on Vuk Stefanovic-Karadzic's faulty premise that the language of all South Slavs, not only that of the Serbs, Croats, Montenegrins and Bosnians but even that of the Macedonians and Bulgarians, belonged to the same linguistic group - Stokavski.
Everything that did not fit within this "norm" was declared incorrect and non-literate; for example, three sounds unique to the Montenegrin language (that are used in spoken language even today) were left out of this standardization.
Karadzic and later Alexandar Belic and the Serbian Academy recognized Njegos as the greatest poet of the South Slavs.

Vuk Karadzic Serbs All and Everywhere (1849) An article detailing the liguistic and ethnic 'predominance' of the Serbs in most South Slavic lands.
Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic (1787-1864) was a linguist and writer who travelled throughout the Balkan lands studying the various languages and dialects and collecting folk songs.
It is apparent that Stojanovic was influenced by scholars like Karadzic, who tried to negate the validity of any claims the Croatians make to a separate nation- hood, by saying that the Croatians can only be defined by Cathol- icism and as a "subservient" people.

With the appearance of the collections of Serbian folk poems by Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic, the brilliance of the poetry in the Kosovo and related cycles of ballads was affirmed by poets and critics as deeply influential as Goethe, Jacob Grimm, Adam Mickiewicz and Alexander Pushkin.
Karadzic was born in 1787 in a village on the east of the Macva Plain which is itself bordered on the west by the Drina.
Karadzic's description of Curcija's death at the hands of men fighting under Nenadovic, another leader of the revolt who had persuaded Karadjordje that Curcija was guilty of treachery and obtained his superior's permission to have him killed, is as gruesome as anything in the bloodiest of heroic songs.

Nowhere is the relationship of literary language to the ever-evolving discourse of linguistics more apparent than in lexicography, and in the nineteenth century Slavic world, where the codification of national languages coincided with a lexicographical boom, the two are largely inextricable.
Most existing treatments of Vuk's dictionary and its appended grammar have sought to address the viability of Vuk's vision for a full service Serbian language.

 www.spacesofidentity.net — Fischer: The Role of Dositej Obradovic
The museum is not even dedicated to Dositej alone but also to Vuk Karadzic (1787-1864), the language reformer, who was born the generation after Dositej.
Obradovic’s prostonarodni language and his “people” were not the people and the language Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic had in mind when he published his own books in the first half of the nineteenth century (Karadzic 88).
Merging the Vuk symbolism with the Dositej myth would emphasize the anti-clerical and the language reform aspects of “Dositej.” It would neutralize the assimilation claim and also the negative attitude towards folk culture (elitism).
