Abstract

Recognizing that the language of our ancestors - as an intangible cultural heritage - is threatened by extinction, this paper seeks to contribute to the research of maritime terminology in Gradac. For this purpose, it documents and processes over 500 terms related to life by the sea and at sea. This paper represents the first attempt to investigate and document maritime terminology in the local dialect of Gradac. It is to be hoped that this work will encourage further research in this area and thus contribute to the preservation of the local maritime cultural heritage.
