Povzetek (v angleškem jeziku):

Scholarly depictions of Juraj Križanić/Krizhanich illustrate the problems with using glottonyms as analytical concepts. A survey of how different scholars have described Križanić/Krizhanich’s language suggests that they typically assert a series of glottonyms, defined either by ethnonyms or dialectical features. Eekman’s detailed study of vocabulary suggests no series of glottonyms can suffice. A case study of two supposedly “Ukrainian” elements in Križanić/Krizhanich’s language reveals a series of further difficulties with using glottonyms analytically. Križanić/Krizhanich’s linguistic taxonomies, analysed as part of intellectual history, suggests an unavoidable ambiguity in glottonyms themselves, linked to ambiguities in evolving national concepts. The article suggests that scholars should be wary about using ethnic glottonyms as analytical categories, and instead approach them as sites of analysis.
