Kazališno nazivlje u glumi Aleksandra Freudenreicha
Theatrical Terminology in Alexander Freudenreich’s Manual Gluma

Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the theatrical terminology in the work Gluma. Stručni priručnik za ideologiju i praktičnu primjenu hrvatske pučke glume (Acting. An Expert Manual for Ideology and Practical Application of Croatian Folk Acting) by Alexander Freudenreich. Freudenreich was a prominent theatre worker in the period between the two world wars but in our time, he has been suppressed, so his work, including the special theatrical terminology he was using, remained unknown. A part of the theatrical terminology that was common in Freudenreich’s day is no longer used today because it has been replaced by some other solutions in the theatrical world. The paper also indicates some of the derivatives referring to some common concepts in the theatre, and today they are used in versions with other suffixes to avoid formative polysemy. The examples presented in the paper suggest that present-day Croatian theatrical terminology would probably be at least partially different if Freudenreich’s work had not been kept secret.
