Transylvania in Croatian dictionaries

Summary/Abstract: A representation of place names , ethnics and ktetics may provide in the historical and contemporary monolingual, bilingual and multilingual dictionaries. In the introductory part of the paper the authors describe the concept of Transylvania in the historic, geographic and demographic context as well as a brief look at the Croatian lexicography. The focal point of the paper is the description and analysis of the notion of Transylvania and its synonyms, ethnic, ktetics and possessive adjectives that are derived from them in historical and contemporary Croatian dictionaries. The differences and similarities in the review and presentation of corpus were observed. A careful analysis of the collected corps will demonstrate their (un)systematic description. The research was a complex task because the collected lexical material is great and rich, especially in old Croatian dictionaries .
