Abstract

Since a very small amount of research has been dedicated to the study of word formation in the kajkavian dialect and none whatsoever to the formation of names of peoples and place name adjectives, this work describes and analyses the formation of names of peoples and place name adjectives in said dialect. The analysis is based upon data gathered from the nearly fifty years of field research in Questionnaires for the Croatian Linguistic Atlas which is being compiled at the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics, as well as upon data from dialectal dictionaries.

Keywords
