IKAVSKI GOVOR I LEKSIKA U USMENOKNJIŽEVNOJ ZBIRCI NARODNE UMOTVORINE (IZ DERVENTE I OKOLICE)
THE IKAVIAN DIALECT AND LEXICON IN THE ORAL LITERARY COLLECTION NARODNE UMOTVORINE (FROM DERVENTA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS)

Summary/Abstract: The first part of the paper presents the dialectal profile of the Derventa area, with special emphasis on the Ikavian replacement of ě as an autochthonous linguistic feature of this region, which is largely present in the research corpus. Ikavian forms are presented according to the traditional classification by parts of speech. The lexical corpus is initially approached within the framework of the dominant lexicon of foreign origin, i.e. Oriental loanwords, which are also presented according to the traditional classification by parts of speech. Particular attention is devoted to the most frequent parts of speech: nouns and adjectives, while the others are mentioned only briefly. Passive vocabulary in the research material includes archaisms, neologisms, and obsolete words, whereas the dominant group within emotionally expressive vocabulary consists of hypocoristics.
