Summary/Abstract: This article is a review of the work entitled Zvejasrīku nosaukumi latvijas piekrastē [Names of Fishing Gear on the Latvian Coast], written by the Latvian linguist from Liepāja – Benita Laumane. The study consists of two major parts. The first one, divided into thematic sections, presents the vocabulary related to coastal sea fishing (1: Sea fishing and fishing gear; 2: Hook gear; 3: The organisation of fishing; 4: Fish processing). The second part is devoted to the linguistic characteristics of the lexemes under discussion (phonetics, grammar, etymology, geographical extent).
