GENITÍVNA PREDLOŽKA Z, ZO, INŠTRUMENTÁLOVÁ PREDLOŽKA S, SO A ČASTICA ZO V KODIFIKÁCIÁCH SPISOVNEJ SLOVENČINY OD KONCA 18. STOROČIA DO POLOVICE 20. STOROČIA

The article deals with the prepositions z, zo and s, so and particle zo in the literary Slovak language since Bernolák’s codification at the end of the 18th century to The Rules of the Slovak Orthography published in 1953. The rules of using prepositions and particle in that time were different (phonetic-phonological principle, grammatical principle, etymological principle with semantic criteria), because of existing historical, social and language situation. Štúr’s codification (1846) was progressive approach, which did not accept Bernolák’s phonetic-phonological principle and also orthographical tradition and continuity with the pre-literary period (etymological principle in Slovak and Czech). M. Hattala in his work Mluvnica jazyka slovenského (1864) did not accept Štúr’s grammatical principle and followed tradition and continuity with Czech. Etymological principle was dominated in Slovak orthography up to the first half of the 20th century (Rukoväť spisovnej reči slovenskej, 1902 – 1919, The Rules of the Slovak Orthography, 1931, 1940). From the point of view of language and orthography development it was necessary to accept Bartek’s unsuccessful proposal from the end of the 30th years of the 20th century (The Rules of the Slovak Orthography, 1939; which preferred Štúr’s grammatical principle) in The Rules of the Slovak Orthography published in 1953.
