Abstract
From the lexical-semantic aspect, the paper analyzes the names for skin and infectious diseases in the speech of Gadžin Han, which belongs to the Svrljig- Zaplanje dialect area. The corpus consists of more than 60 lexemes collected by field research during 2018 for the needs of the master’s thesis. Within the lexicalsemantic analysis, the names are divided into two semantic groups: 1. Names for skin and infectious diseases and 2. Names for people suffering from skin and infectious diseases. The obtained results were compared with the situation represented in the relevant dialect dictionaries from the Prizren-Timok dialect area. The aim of this paper is to point out the lexical richness of folk medicine.
