          Abstract

          Lexicography is yet another witness of the historic recurrence in the Balkans - fifty years after banning Miloš Moskovljević's Dictionary of Contemporary Serbo-Croatian Literary Language with Language Manual (1966), the distribution of the first volume of the Dictionary of Montenegrin National and Literary Language (2016) of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts was stopped due to political reasons. Among other things, the representatives of the Albanian and Bosniak people in the Parliament of Montenegro demanded that the Dictionary of Montenegrin National and Literary Language be withdrawn due to the "offensive" and "discriminatory" definition of the terms Albanian and Bosniak. This has shown, once again, that Balkan ethnonyms and (or) demonyms have considerable weight in the descriptions of lexical material and that they can lead to the situation where politics defeats lexicography. That is why we will deal, primarily from a linguistic perspective, with the lexicographic definitions of ethnonyms and demonyms that are controversial in Montenegro. Starting from their foundation on ethnic or civic identity, we want to examine the possibilities and justification of the definition of these concepts bearing in mind the broader socio-political framework.

          Translated abstract

          Die leksikografie is weereens 'n voorbeeld van die histories herhalende gebeure in die Balkanlande - vyftig jaar nadat Miloš Moskovljević se Dictionary of Contemporary Serbo-Croatian Literary Language with Language Manual (1966), verban is, is die verspreiding van die eerste volume van die Dictionary of Montenegrin National and Literary Language (2016) van die Montenegrynse Akademie van Wetenskap en Kuns weens politieke redes gestaak. Die verteenwoordigers van die Albanese en Bosniese volke in die Parlement van Montenegro het onder andere daarop aangedring dat die Dictionary of Montenegrin National and Literary Language weens die "beledigende" en "diskriminerende" definisies van die terme Albaniër en Bosniër onttrek word. Dit het weereens getoon dat Balkan-etnonieme en (of) demonieme aansienlike invloed het op die beskrywings van leksikale materiaal en dat hierdie twee taalelemente tot die situasie kan lei waar die politiek die leksikografie die onderspit laat delf. Dit is waarom ons die leksikografiese definisies van etnonieme en demonieme wat kontroversieel in Montenegro is, hoofsaaklik vanuit 'n linguistiese perspektief sal hanteer. Met hul basis van etniese en burgerlike identiteit as vertrekpunt wil ons die moontlikhede van en regverdiging vir die definisies van hierdie konsepte met inagneming van die groter sosio-politieke struktuur ondersoek.
