Abstract

In this paper the authors analyse stereotypical terms bodul, školjar and vlah, and consider the meanings and contexts in which stereotypical features are attributed to them. The etymologies of these terms have been presented and discussed. Meanings, usage contexts and terminological inconsistencies have been analysed in selected dictionaries of the Croatian standard language and dialect dictionaries. The distribution of these terms along the Adriatic has been presented and conclusions offered as to whether this phenomenon should be considered as a regional or supraregional one.
