Prilog istraživanju toponimije Lovranšćine: mikrotoponimija Tuliševice
A contribution to Toponymy Research of the Lovran Region: Microtoponymy of Tuliševica

Summary/Abstract: The toponymy of the village Tuliševica territory is examined in this article. Possibilities of several computer databases were used as a preliminary step for the creation of basic corpus of toponyms. These databases allowed the maximum precision in the determination of the toponyms location. The corpus was supplemented by interviews with informants and by the excerpts from literature and archival sources. All toponyms were listed in the alphabetical order and analyzed as separate entries. Toponyms were analyzed at several levels: 1) geographical: every toponym was pinpointed and the area which it names is graphically presented on the toponomastic map; 2) historical: an overview of toponymsoccurence in the primary archival sources (last wills) was given; 3) linguistic: a brief explanation for some toponyms was offered, especially for those originating from the local idiom, and all of them were also accentuated. Considering the extremely poor toponomastic research of the Lovran region, this article aims at filling that gap, but also offers a methodological basis for further similar studies.
