STATUS ZASTARJELICA U GOVORIMA PRILUKE I ČAPRAZLIJE S POSEBNIM OSVRTOM NA UPORABU KOD MLAĐIH GOVORNIKA
THE STATUS OF ARCHAISMS IN THE SPOKEN LANGUAGE OF PRILUKE AND ČAPRAZLIJE WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON THE USAGE BY YOUNGER SPEAKERS

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of gathered lexical materials of the local speeches of older residents from the villages Priluke and Čaprazlije in the municipality of Livno, the paper aims to show their mutual connection and also that younger people are acquainted with them. It will be shown that the major part of the lexis can be categorized as a transitional lexical layer - archaisms. The paper consists of two parts. The first part shows the features of the lexical layer of these speeches which are at around 20 km distance. Nomenclature is classified according to the semantic fields that mostly refer to lexemes from everyday conversation, due to the fact that the respondents are structurally different. A lexical equivalence and synonymy of lexemes has been established considering their usage. As the lexis of local speeches is a mirror of cultural and historical conditions, i. e. adapting to new circumstances with concrete linguistic features, the second part of the paper refers to the usage and (not) knowing parsed lexis among younger speakers from urban and rural areas of the municipality of Livno, most of whom have Croatian as their mother tongue.
