О народним еортонимима у српском језику и њиховим паралелама у другим словенским језицима
Folk eortonyms in the Serbian language and their parallels in other Slavic languages

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the semantic and word-formation aspects of the folk names of Orthodox Church holidays in the Serbian language. The research material is excerpted from descriptive and dialectal dictionaries of the Serbian language, from ethnolinguistic studies, as well as from everyday speech. The analysis will be completed giving a review of the situation in other Slavic languages (Russian, Bulgarian, Czech, etc.), which was recorded in studies dealing with folk names of holidays. The aim of the research will be to present the folk terminology related to religious holidays, to list the formal characteristics of these names and describe their semantic properties, as well as to look into the attitude of speakers towards the customs and beliefs associated with a certain holiday, through the use of linguistic units. By comparing them to the corresponding names in other Slavic languages, common elements of the folklore image of the world can be determined, as well as whether there are any general features in the understanding of reality among the Slavic peoples.
