Sažetak
In this article, the author reviews the evidence supplied by loanwords for the nature of contacts between the Proto-Slavs and their Germanic neighbours, i.e. the Goths and various western Germanic peoples. Germanic loanwords in Proto-Slavic can be divided into a limited number of semantic fields: power and warfare, technological terminology, money and trade, words for containers (boxes, cases etc.), Christian terminology and words regarding land holdings. Technological and Christian loanwords are probably of western Germanic origin, while the other semantic categories appear to contain Gothic as well as western Germanic loanwords.
