Abstract

The work deals with the basic issues of defining the term »maritime language« and its conceptual and terminological determination in Croatian and English. A brief survey is made of the history
and development of the contacts between maritime English and maritime Croatian, describing also the specific features of this development. Language contacts are predominantly studied in such
sources as maritime-related professional literature and periodic journals, as well as maritime lexicographic material and works in Croatian. It is shown that, in addition to common speech,
language contacts can also be studied in the so called »restricted languages« such as the language used by seafarers. Such studies are possible on all levels of linguistic description, particularly on
the lexical level, which is supported by numerous examples of English loan-words in Croatian maritime language.
