TRADITIONAL HOUSE NAMES AS PART OF CULTURAL HERITAGE.
- Authors
Klinar, Klemen; Geršič, Matjaž
- Abstract
Traditional house names are a part of intangible cultural heritage. In the past, they were an important factor in identifying houses, people, and other structures, but modern social processes are decreasing their use. House names preserve the local dialect with its special features, and their motivational interpretation reflects the historical, geographical, biological, and social conditions in the countryside. This article comprehensively examines house names and presents the methods and results of collecting house names as part of various projects in Upper Carniola.
