Word-formation models of nouns in the work of Blaž Tadijanović Svašta po malo iliti kratko složenje imena i riči u ilirski i njemački jezik (1761)

Abstract

The work focuses on the noun formation types which show unusual meanings of derivatives or compounds as well as on the formation of neologisms unusual according to the existing models. The analyzed examples are compared with the words from the Dictionary of Croatian or Serbian Language JAZU for which Tadianović’s work was not one of the sources. The analysis has shown that some words are older than was quoted in that dictionary or that in Tadijanović’s work they have a different meaning.
