Abstract

The dialect of Sveti Lovreč Labinski is a part of the Southern subgroup
of the Labin group of dialects included in the dialectologically relevant literature as a part of the Central Istrian subdialect of the Čakavian Ekavian dialect. This paper presents the basic historical and geographical information about Sveti Lovreč Labinski as well as a review of the basic phonological (vocalic, consonantal, and prosodic) features of that local dialect. The central part of the paper is dedicated to a detailed analysis of the anthroponymic material collected in field research. Special attention was given to first names, last names, and personal and family nicknames. Those three basic anthroponymic categories are observed with regard to their linguistic origin and analysed from both the semantic-motivational and the formative aspect.
