Anđela Frančić ; Faculty of humanities and social sciences at the University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

In the introductory part of the article the author defines onomastics and the topic of its research, briefly outlines the history of Croatian onomastics and lists onomasticians who have made a significant contribution to its development. The central part of the paper deals with the contemporary Croatian onomastics with a special emphasis on its challenges, needs and capacities. Finally, the author concludes that in spite of the efforts of the few Croatian onomasticians, the ample amount of nominal corpus is yet to be collected, through field work and archive research, and scientifically analysed.
