Abstract

The lexis of the local speech of Ložišća on the island of Brač is rich with romanisms. The paper analyzes the loan words of Romance origin belonging to the semantic field of professions, occupations and honorary positions. The data was collected by the author in field research. Most of the loan words are, as expected, imported from the Venetian dialect. Allthough the noted terms are mostly being in use, they are gradually disappearing from the system due to breach of new technologies, extinction of old occupations and emergence of the new ones, modern way of life, and the influence of Standard Croatian.

Keywords
