Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Zagreb in 1949, graduating in 1955 Croatian, Russian and German.[1] Afterwards he remained working as an assistant at the Faculty of Philosophy, defending his Ph.D. in 1962 and receiving full professorship in 1975.[1] He was the vice-president of Matica hrvatska from 1989 to 1992, and representative in the Županijski Dom (Chamber of the Counties) from 1993 to 1997.[1] He retired as professor in 1991.[1] Babić died in Zagreb on 27 August 2021, at the age of 95.[2]

Selected works

Babić is one of the most prolific Croatian linguists, with over 1000 published works (books, articles etc.).[1] His work deals predominantly with modern Croatian standard language, word formation in particular.[1] In his papers published during the 1960s decade Babić advocated a linguistic unification of Serbs and Croats.[3][4][5][6] Since the 1990s, Babić has been one of the leading proponents of language purism in Croatia.[6][7] His puristic approach has been criticised by Ivo Pranjković[8] and especially[9] by Snježana Kordić.[10][11][12][13][14] Babić's tendency to use the topic of language to spread nationalist ideology was evident in his articles published in the journal Jezik, in which Babić was editor-in-chief.[15]
