"Exit" As The Designation Of Time In Slavic And German Dialects
The article investigates semantic parallels between designations of the word "spring" in the South German and Slovenian dialects, namely: representation of this season as "exit". In this case the similar principle of the nomination can be interpreted as a semantic borrowing from German to Slovenian. However, the compared lexical material of the peripheral North Slavic dialects suggests of possible existence of an ancient semantic component, connected with the concept "time", within the noun meaning "exit".
