Grammatica Slavico–Bohemica ( Pressburg, 1746) is an integrated Slovak- Czech grammar published by the Slovak linguist Pavel Doležal. The preface was written by the 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 the 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 the further development of Czech and Slovak. It introduced a new grammatical conception, a new classification of verbs and substantives, and influenced the later codification of the modern Czech language ( Josef Dobrovský) as well as the codification of the Slovak language ( Anton Bernolák).
