Corpus and distribution of personal names of the type Pera

Abstract

U prvom će se dijelu članka naći korpus antroponima tipa Pera nastao na osnovi literature, onomastičke, dijalektološke i leksikografske, te na osnovi autorovih terenskih istraživanja dalmatinskog prostora. U drugom će dijelu autor u nacrtu prikazati raspodjelu antroponima ovoga načina tvorbe najprije u prostoru i zatim u vremenu, od pojave tvorbenog modela u prajeziku, preko prvih potvrda u pisanim dokumentima do primjera ostvarenih u naše doba.Personal names of the type Pera have not been properly described in linguistic literature at any level of their nature. This was a motive for the author to present personal names of such formation mode in the Croatian language with relation to their corpus and distribution in space and time. Most of the corpus includes personal names and nicknames from which other kinds of personal names are derived. The limits of their spreading are not clear. With some differences in density they can be found in all dialects. In general, they are more common west of the rivers Neretva and Bosna than to the east of the boundary. According to the time of their appearance, personal names of this formation mode developed earlier than suffix formations when taking into consideration the model by which similarly structured formations in Indo-European languages were formed. On the basis of the description of the corpus of personal names of the type Pera, the condition of their position in space, their appearance, their morphologic, phonologic and formation features could be better told than has been done long since
