Nazwy ‘szyi’ w dialektach słowiańskich (na materiałach Ogólnosłowiańskiego atlasu językowego – OLA)
Names of the ‘neck’ in Slavic Dialects – based on Slavic Linguistic Atlas (SLA) Material

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present and describe the map L 1443 “Neck, part of the (human) body connecting head and torso” included in the Slavic Linguistic Atlas (SLA). Lexical and Word-formational Series. Volume 9. Man [The human body]. One important problem that occurs across a vast portion of the Slavic dialects’ area is the issue of precise naming, and registering via fieldwork, of items referring to the ‘neck as a whole’, the back of the neck (the ‘nape’), its anterior soft part, and the ‘throat’. The article is an attempt at associating the words noted in these areas with dictionary content (of both dialect and general dictionaries). In the presentation of the material, reconstructed and normalized forms are indicated (given their approximate location) across given areas, rather than via analysis of primary fieldwork entries.
