Sažetak
The present article represents the results of an empirical investigation of familiarity with
traditional Croatian proverbs. The study is based on the assumption that neither linguistic
nor psycholinguistic studies will arrive at representative results unless the very material
basis, which serves for any subsequent study, is empirically provided. Therefore the focus of
research is shifted from questions such as how particular supralexical items are linguistically
constructed, or how they are mentally stored or processed, to the primary question of
which items are available (i. e., generally known). All 15,027 proverbs from V. J. Skarpa's
"Hrvatske narodne poslovice" (1909) were distributed among eleven native speakers from
various Croatian regions. As a result, less than one percent of the presented material was
familiar to all subjects, and more than 75% of the material was classified as "unknown" by
more than half of the subjects. Therefore, it seems necessary to draw the conclusion that
most of the material from Skarpa's collection must be regarded as obsolete from a contemporary
perspective. The results of the present study clearly demonstrate the need for a corpus
of contemporarily familiar Croatian proverbs.
