Ovim radom autor želi istaknuti da su bratovštine na otocima zadarskoga otočja, osim što imaju veliko kulturno, vjersko i nacionalno značenje, u nekim segmentima važne i za razvoj hrvatskoga jezika. Polazeći od pretpostavke da su pravila zadarskih bratovština služila kao uzor seoskima, autor traga za osobitostima
leksika, poglavito nazivoslovlja u dvjema skulama s otoka Silbe i Premude iz 17. stoljeća. U sastavljanju pravila bratovština popovi glagoljaši imali su vodeću ulogu, a ujednačenost leksika, zaključuje autor, odraz je njihova nastojanja da usustave jezik.In this paper, the author attempts to point out how brotherhoods on the islands of the Zadar archipelago, apart from their cultural, religious and national importance, played a significant role in the development of the Croatian language. Assuming that the rules of Zadar brotherhoods served as a model to those of the village,
the author explores the particularities of that vocabulary, primarily terminology in two skulas (brotherhoods) from the islands of Silba and Premuda from the 17th century. In creating rules of brotherhoods, Glagolitic monks played a leading role,
and uniformity of the language, concludes the author, is a reflection of their effort to standardize the language
