Abstract

Within the multidisciplinary anthropological study carried out on the island of Pag, an attempt has been made to analyse the linguistic traits of the population as an indicator of its cultural microevolution. The analysis of linguistic distances among individual settlements on the island based on the shared cognates shows that the linguistic divergence corresponds considerably with the patterns of former and current migratory processes. The existing dialectal and subdialectal differences are also to a great extent the consequence of geographic and sociocultural isolation of particular settlements.
