Abstract

Vlasta Vrandečić Lebarić (1953) is a prolific dialectal poetess who writes poetry in standard Croatian but also in the local dialect of the town of Pučišća on the island of Brač. The aim of her poetry is to portray intimate family situations from childhood and everyday life and struggles of a small insular community existentially dependent on the local quarry and stone masonry. This paper focuses on the language distinctiveness of two books of poetry from the author’s early phase– Pučȉške piturȅške (1998) and Doletȋbuletȋn (1999), which are very valuable from the dialectal point of view. Namely, the local speech of Pučišća on the island of Brač has not yet been the subject of extensive research, and the Chakavian dialect of Pučišća found in the work of this poetess can thus, at least to some extent, contribute to better understanding of the speech of Pučišće.
