The following work analyzes from the standpoint of word formation theory the vocabulary, specifically vocabulary of the narrower semantic field of cultured plants, gathered from 85 local speeches from the whole Slovene-speaking area, while in the second part of dissertation the vocabulary is interpreted using geolinguistic method. The novelty of this dissertation can be discerned firstly from an extensive corpus of newly collected, transcribed and indexed dialect words from the areas of all seven dialect groups. Secondly with morpheme segmentation of the material collected a progress has been made toward ascertaining the nomenclature structure of the semantic field of cultured plants, with one word lexemes an inventory of affix morphemes and their distinctive characteristics (in a structural as well as the geographical sense) has been done, and at the same time this type of analysis suggests conscious processing of the morpheme structure of word, created by word formation, when it comes to paying attention to all its possible morpheme segmentations. The third novelty of this dissertation is the showing of the model of geolinguistic processing of pure word formation data, which has been so far mostly discussed within lexical and word formation researches.

COBISS.SI-ID: 50309218In this lecture the history and the achivements of Slovenian Geolinguistics has been presented, with a special regard to the project Slovenian Linguistic Atlas. In the Dialectology is science which explores, at both the synchronic and diachronic levels, the geographically delimited variants of individual languages – that is, the local dialects and speeches. The geographical presentation of the selected dialect material for geolinguistics is not so much the result but, rather, the starting point for interpretation and for further exploration of the language. The Slovenian Linguistic Atlas (SLA), which constitutes the basic work of modern Slovenian dialectology and geolinguistics, was established by the linguist Fran Ramovš in 1934, but later the network of localities and the questionnaire were rearranged on several occasions during this period. Various types of commentaries have been developed alongside the mapping methods: from very simple to more extensive ones with an interdisciplinary interpretation. Every map is accompanied by a commentary and by an index of dialect material; despite various deficiencies, e.g. problems related to the changes made to phonetic transcription as a result of many decades of data-collection, the material in the SLA is written exactly as stored in the archive.

COBISS.SI-ID: 34722605The term Ablaut as used in the paper refers to the system of vowel alternations in Proto-Slavic, which was inherited from Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Balto-Slavic. The article discusses the reflexes and the morphological (i. e. flectional and word-formational) functions of Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Balto-Slavic ablaut as the general reshuffling and shift in its function in late Proto-Slavic, which arose due to phonological and morphological (analogical) changes and the reanalysis of morpheme structure on the synchronic level.
