Microtoponymy of Bačka Croats in Hungary

Abstract

Ova je studija plod autorova višegodišnjega terenskog rada: bilježenja mikrotoponima Hrvata Bunjevaca koji i danas obitavaju u nizu bačvanskih naselja u južnom dijelu Madžarske. U svome se radu nije ograničio samo na terensko prikupljanje građe, već je podatke crpio i provjeravao i iz arhivske građe i povijesnih dokumenata.The article is a result of many years of field work in collecting place-names in the villages of South Hungary inhabited by Backa Croats. For more than two decades the author has collected toponomastic data on site, but also from archives, historical records, linguistic and other sources. He collected and analysed the microtoponymy of all Croatian settlements in South Hungary. The second part of the article is dedicated to the classification of place-names according to form, motivation, and origin. According to form, the author classified the place-names as simple, composite, and compound names. According to the meaning of the basic stem, he classified the microtoponyms derived from personal names, geographical terms, metaphoric names, fithonymic, zoonymic, etc. The supplement includes a complete accentuated register of place-names and a list of informants
