Abstract

The paper presents a survey of calques present in Croatian bilingual and multilingual dictionaries. Special attention is given to the dictionaries published in the 19th century, a period marked by efforts made in view of creating Croatian, i.e. new terminology to be used in public and private life. Concordances and differences between Croatian equivalents of foreign models found in the following lexicographic works: Voltić 1803, Stulić 1806, 'Sbirka nĕkojih rĕčih ...' 1835, Mažuranić-Užarević 1842, Drobnić 1846-49, 'Juridisch-politische Terminologie ...' 1853, Veselić 1853, 1854, Šulek 1860 and 1874-75, Parčić 1901 are presented. Finally, the status of the suggested solutions for contemporary standard usage is assessed.
