Sažetak
In this paper we deal with the implications of observing Neo-Latin (NL) as a linguistic fact. The focus is on investigating its structure, instead of examining its sociolinguistic features. First we observe the unsatisfactory status the research of linguistic properties of NL has within the academic field of Latin Linguistics. Then we examine on what grounds NL is distinguished from other subsytems of Latin and how it is internally diversified. Next, we will see how giving paramount importance to cultural context in NL linguistic studies gives rise to unbalanced treatment of its varieties, thus contrasting the approach taken by modern linguistics, which tends not to favour registers on the basis of their literary elaborateness. Substandard varieties, including administrative texts and most recent developments such as 21st century Latin of amateurish conversation on the Internet fora, are brought to attention as valid topics for linguistic research of NL. Finally, some prospective areas of linguistic NL studies are suggested, especially taking into account modern developments in linguistics as well as the increasing quantity of digitally available texts.
