Abstract

This paper analyzes folk names of the feast of St. Martin on a wider range of Croatian speaking areas, that is to say, in Chakavian, Shtokavian, and Kajkavian dialects, including the Croatian diaspora.

Festive names are primarily analyzed from a dialectological point of view, within the frame of individual Croatian vernaculars and dialects. It also analyzes a part of the terminology derived from a festal name, or from a saint’s name. In addition the paper analyzes, from an ethno-linguistic standpoint, idiomatic phrases (phrasemes), sayings and proverbs, as well as individual toponyms motivated by the saint’s name. The analysis is mostly based on the material that the author of the paper collected during her personal field research, and to a lesser extent on examples excerpted from literature.
