Other Slavic vocabulary in Slovene dictionaries throughout the centuries

Summary/Abstract: The practice of including the material from other Slavic languages in Slovene dictionaries had been applied in Slovene lexicography from the very beginning; see glosses, J. Dalmatin’s Register, H. Megiser’s dictionaries. From the second half of the 17th century, Slovene authors of dictionaries had used contemporary Croatian Kajkavian dictionaries by J. Habdelić, I. Belostenec, A. Jambrešić. In the second half of the 18th century, due to personal contacts, the influences of the Czech language (M. Pohlin) and the Slovak language (O. Gutsman) became noticeable. The situation of the Slovene language (which was exposed to the strong influence of German) and the fight for the preservation of the national identity caused the authors of bilingual and multilingual dictionaries to search for common Slavic vocabulary. They introduced Russian, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Serbian, Old-Church-Slavonic, and rarely Polish words, e.g. V. Vodnik, A. Janežič, M. Cigale. It was a way to eliminate German borrowings. Additionally, these authors used new Croatian, Serbian, Russian and Czech dictionaries, e.g. Heym, Schmidt (Russian); Dobrovský, Konečný, Jordan, Šumavskij (Czech); Mažuranić-Užarević, Šulek, Drobnič (Croatian); Karadžić, Isajlović (Serbian); Miklošič (Old-Church-Slavonic); Knapski, Trotz, Mrongowiusz (Polish). It is also important that the tendency to include material from other Slavic languages could have been observed at that time not only in Slovene lexicography, but also in Slavic lexicography, e.g. Polish (S.B. Linde), Czech (J. Jungman).
