Abstract
The paper discusses the interference phenomena in the speech of informants as well as some lexical borrowings in the sphere of traditional spiritual culture. The results are based on the 2022 field research carrying out among Slovene community in the province of Udine (Italy). Special attention is paid to the analysis of cross-border narratives and nicknames associated with the border location of the region. During the field study, it was also possible to record stories about the labor migration of Slovenes to other countries, in particular, to Belgium and Argentina. Inscriptions on tombstones in cemeteries in this region were documented, as well as customs related to memorial days, November 1 and 2, are described in the paper. In conclusion, the transcribed texts are given, including folklore texts (fairy tales), which are interesting due to numerous borrowings from the surrounding Romance languages.
