Abstract

The article focuses on dialectal names of medicinal plants in Prekmurje, a region in the extreme north-eastern part of Slovenia along the border with Austria, Hungary, and Croatia. Dialectal phytonyms are presented from a linguistic (etymological, word-formational) and cultural (ethnological, symbolic) perspectives. Plant names are important as they reveal the nature of both linguistic processes and their terminologization. They also serve to preserve the rich Slovenian (linguistic) cultural heritage.
