Germanisms in Vuk's dictionary (Rječnik) of 1852
Asim Peco
Abstract
Vuk's Serbian Dictionary (Rječnik) of 1818 had about 200 words of German origin. The number of germanisms in the second edition of “Rječnik” was somewhat larger (about 280 words). This number is very small regarding the number of orientalisms (turcisms), that is to say, there are 2.500 turcisms and 3.700 turcisms in the second edition. It was only after the post-Vuk's period that the words of German origin were adopted in the vernacular of the southern area of our countries. Nowadays, it is germanisms that are very active stratum of our loan-words which was not the case in the times of Vuk.
