Abstract
This paper provides systematic research, identification and categorisation of German loanwords in Croatian language of agriculture. The research consisted of several stages: research of written source material from two periods followed by field research at various types of agricultural farms, discussions with professional agronomists and analysis of results with elaboration of glossary of agriculture related loanwords. Due to the fact that German loan words in the field of agriculture were not systematically researched, results of this research can find their practical application in the field of agriculture in the way that they solve doubts regarding the use of german loan words in the context of language and terminology usage which frequently occur in language for special purposes. Research methodology and statistical methods of analysing the research corpus can be used as a tool to conduct research in contact linguistic in the context of terminology related to specific fields of science.
