ON THE METHODS OF MAKING TOPONOMASTIC DICTIONARIES

Dunja Brozović-Rončević ; Zavod za lingvisticka istrazivanja HAZU, Zagreb

Abstract

Croatia still does not have a systematic and complete toponymic dictionary. Usually toponymy has been studied within the context of individual dialectal works. But for many regions of Croatia synchronic toponymic studies are still lacking. Material for a historical toponymic dictionary of Croatia has been gathered for decades. But since the project was started by historians and archaeologists, the linguistic component was left out. This article attempts to present the basic problems faced in composing a historical toponymic dictionary of Croatia following the example of toponymic dictionaries of other countries.
