Grammatica Slavico–Bohemica
Grammatica Slavico–Bohemica (Pressburg, 1746) is an integrated Slovak-Czech grammar published by a Slovak linguist Pavel Doležal. The preface was written by a polyhistor Matthias Bel.
Doležal's lingua Slavico-Bohemica is a diasystem of two "dialects" used by two different nations.[1] The Czech language is strictly the language of the Bible of Kralice[2]—the literal language used by Slovak Lutherans. The Slovak language is de facto an urban dialect of educated Slovaks from Skalica (Moravian Valley Western Slovak) with some non-Western Slovak features.[2] The work had a significant impact on further development of Czech and Slovak, introduced a new grammatical conception, a new classification of verbs and substantives and influenced later codification of the modern Czech language (Josef Dobrovský) as well as the codification of the Slovak language (Anton Bernolák).[3]
