Abstract

This paper analyses the verbal humor in the poems from the poetic collection Libro Dubaja Marusa written by Šime Vučetić from Vela Luka. The paper shows that the poetic text is an ideal base for that kind of humor and that all comic actions are at the same time also stylistic, because the language action itself is funny. On a lexicological level, the
verbal humor is achieved by: polysemy, homonymy, and synonymy; through the selection(and formation) of anthroponymes, pejorative words and phraseological modifications. This work does not imply all of the chakavian idioms, only a smaller part, in particular the part based on the written language of one author. Therefore, in choosing particular
examples, the meanings of those words are not analyzed in different chakavian idioms from a wider area.
