Sažetak
The paper deals with the theory of eponyms and their frequency both in the language and the literature domain of the Croatian language as a school subject. The first part – The Theory of Eponyms – explains the origin and the meaning of the word eponym itself, the eponymization, the duration, the types and the distribution of eponyms. Eponyms are types of loan words from other languages into Croatian and the eponymization is the process of the eponyms’ occurrence. They come into being and last but also disappear. There are several kinds of eponyms. They are found in all areas of life and are important for the ‘history of the national and the world culture and civilization’. The second part – Eponyms in the Croatian Language High-school Textbooks – explains the representation of eponyms in both the literature and the language domain. In the language domain they are dealt with in the units related to loan words and onomastics. In the literature domain they are covered in the units on literary theory (versification) and on history of literature. The textbooks for all four grades are abundant in eponyms. The books 1 to 4 by the group of authors contain fifty eponyms – all of them listed and explained. Most of them are permanent, international, incomplete and correct and there are several regional and local ones. They are connected with versification, myths, literary periods, poetic schools, writers, theories, characters and motifs from works of literature, months and saints.
