Diana Stolac ; Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Rijeci, Rijeka

Abstract

The paper deals with the history of the Croatian maritime terminology, especially in the nineteenth century. Jakov Anton Mikoč and Božo Babić were among the greatest names of the Croatian maritime lexicography. In 1852 Mikoč wrote a little dictionary, which has remained unpublished. Babić was the author of five maritime dictionaries published between 1870 and 1901. Mikoč and Babić proposed Croatian terms instead of official Italian ones on the one hand, and common jargon spoken by Croatian seamen -a kind of combination of Croatian and Italian lexemes -on the other.
