| Summary: | This paper deals with the 14th century autochthonous Zadar Romance, also known as Iadertin, a member of the Dalmato-Romance or Illyro-Romance group. Some linguistic aspects of documents in Romance written by members of Zadar’s medieval aristocracy are analysed and it is concluded that the local 14th century Romance had already turned into (become) the so-called volgare venezianeggiante – a local variety showing a high grade of venetianization. The author also argues that the disappearance of the Zadar Dalmato-Romance dialect should be explained as a process of linguistic convergence rather than a linguistic substitution. |
