Abstract
Medieval laws, which contain a suspended linguistic image of the written legal text of their time, represent a significant source for dialectological research and research in the field of contact linguistics. This paper aims to excerpt Italian and Venetian loanwords that belong to the semantic field of law from three legal documents from the region of Liburnia (The law of the town of Kastav – 1400, The Veprinac law – 1507 and The law of the Mošćenice commune – 1637). Each obtained lexeme will be analysed etymologically and lexically, and its immediate and distant etymology will be determined.
