Mate Kapović Explained

Mate Kapović (born August 5, 1981 in Zagreb) is a Croatian linguist specializing in Indo-European, Slavic languages and the Proto-Balto-Slavic language. He studied Croatian language and linguistics at the Faculty of Arts of University of Zagreb. He graduated in 2003[1] and he has been teaching at the same university since 2004.[1] In 2007, he obtained his doctorate at the Faculty of Philosophy of University of Zadar (Reconstruction of Balto-Slavic Personal Pronouns with Emphasis on Accentuation).[1] [2]

In 2010, he was appointed docent at the University of Zagreb, and in 2014, he was appointed associate professor.[3] At the Faculty of Arts, he lectures on general phonology, historical-comparative linguistics, phonology and Indo-European morphology. His academic interests include accentology, sociolinguistics, dialectology and language policy.[4] He is a member of the Committee of Dialectology at the Department of Philological Sciences of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.[5]

He has authored the following books: Uvod u indoeuropsku lingvistiku: Pregled jezikâ i poredbena fonologija (2008), Čiji je jezik? (2011), Povijest hrvatske akcentuacije: Fonetika (2015). In 2019, he coauthored Jeziku je svejedno (2019),[6] [7] a book devoted to the phenomenon of prescriptivism in Croatian linguistics.[8] [9] [10] He has published numerous articles in Croatian and international journals.[2] He is engaged in criticism of linguistic purism and prescriptivism.[11] [7] He was the initiator of the annual conference International Workshop on Balto-Slavic Accentology (IWoBA).[2]

Kapović proposed revisions and changes to the Declaration on the Common Language prior to its publication, but stated that "they were mostly not respected" and as a result did not sign the document. He criticized the document for posturing as 'neutral', 'apolitical' and 'non-ideological'.[12] He participated on a panel discussion on the Declaration in Zagreb.[13]

Kapović is also a leftist activist who co-founded the Workers' Front. In the 2017 Zagreb local elections, Kapović was elected as the party's first rotating representative in the Zagreb Assembly, being followed by Katarina Peović.[14] He was the party's nominee for the 2021 Zagreb local elections, but was ultimately not re-elected.[15]
