Abstract
In this contribution, sewing terms in contemporary Chakavian local dialect of
Bratulići in Istria are studied, with particular attention to terms of Romance
origin. An initial overview of the basic characteristics of this Chakavian idiom
is followed by a literature review, research aims and methods. Besides terms
referring to the sewing process itself, the corpus presented in the central part
of this contribution comprises terms denoting measuring, tailoring, cutting,
altering, and adjusting. They were collected during the the authors’ fieldwork,
through semi-structured interviews and recordings of the interviewer’s
spontaneous speech. For each Romance loanword, the etymological
description has been provided, together with the analysis of its phonological
and morphological adaptations. Moreover, each sewing term is compared with
equivalents in selected Chakavian local dialects with the aim to shed light on
diatopic variation.
