Ни абера нема

Abstract

The paper deals with the SCr. expression nemati (h)abera “pay no attention, care not, ignore, have no idea” and its parallels in other Balkan languages. Some dictionaries of these languages interpret the Turkish loan haber also as „knowledge, care, concept, regard“. But bearing in mind all the material analysed, thisexpression is more likely to be a semicalque from the Turkish haberim var/yok “I know (nothing) about it, I have(n't) heard it”. The paper also offers an analysis of the semantic shifts occuring in the given SCr. examples.
