Abstract

This paper discusses the vocabulary of the local dialect of the village Zupci near Bar in Montenegro. This local dialect belongs to the Zeta–South Sandžak dialect of the Štokavian dialect group. Its vocabulary is very stratified, which is partly due to complex historical circumstances. The preservation of Slavic archaisms can be explained by the isolation of the settlement and a high percentage of indigenous inhabitants. About thirty Dalmatian-Romance language elements and Slavic archaisms have been recorded (e.g., crȅv(l)ja ‘shoe’, dubrȁva ‘oak forest’, vȉjem ‘I know’ and vȅtko ‘old’). Of the adstrata the Turkish is the most common.
