space, movement, Croatian, German loanwords, ŠpancirfestAbstract
This article analyzes the relationship between the basic spatiotemporal and cultural characteristics of Špancirfest, a street festival traditionally held in Varaždin in north-western Croatia, and the lexeme that the festival’s name is derived from: špancir ‘stroll’. Following a theoretical discussion of options for investigating various types of spaces relevant for sociolinguistic analysis, the article offers an overview of street festivals as particular types of public space, as well as insight into the German linguistic influence in north-western Croatia, serving as a basis for analyzing špancir as a German loanword. The corpus consists of lexemes related to Špancirfest found in newspaper articles in the period from 2010 till 2016. The conducted research also includes the application of a questionnaire among the residents of Varaždin.
