Sažetak
This vocabulary represents the first endeavour to collect the lexical riches of a small Chakavian oasis, of the region of which little is known and little interest taken in. The origin of the collected lexica is the territory of the Karlovac four-rivers basin, the region bounded in the esat by the Korana and Kordun, by the Kupa in the west and north, and also partly by Slovenia, and by the territory of Ogulin in the south. This area, of about one thousand square kilometres with about 50.000 inhabitants, corresponds to the administrative borders of the Duga Resa Commune and the southern and western parts of the Karlovac community and town, representing an autonomous etnographic and geographic totality. This region is surrounded by other continental Chakavian oases (the regions of Ozalj and Ogulin, Lika, Gorski Kotar, Žumberak). The Chakavian elements exist also in typical Kajkavian villages between Karlovac and Zagreb, and in other parts.
The largest number of the words here collected have their origin in Zvečaj, a village in the central part (the same applies to accents), then in Šćulac, Vučjak, Prilišće, Brig, Netretić, Stativa, Novigrad, Barilović, Generalski Stol, Bukovlje, Zagrada, Belaj, Bosiljev, Vukova Gorica and in the present suburbs of Karlovac: Dubovac, Švarce, Mekušje.
The differences in the fund of usable words and in accent exist from place to place. Differences exist in the same village, even in the same family. Therefore the vocabulary has different expressions for the same idea (this applies mostly also to the same speech variety). If not frequent the author has located them precisely. As varieties in accent are numerous he has registered the most frequent ones, except the accents that are isolated due to their obsoleteness, so also here the author wanted to show their connection with other Chakavian speeches.
This vocabulary shows he state of the dialects (not slang!) ending with the year 1985. This speech is dwing out so that mostly people over 50 years age use these collected words (except those in the widest use).
