Птица богомољица

Abstract

Three lemmas from the Dictionary of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences are discussed. All of them refer to the same folklore text realia: “god-praying bird’ (SCr. bogomoljica etc.). New lexicographic solutions are proposed followed by some ethnolinguistic commentaries about the treatment of small wild birds on the South Slavic ground (finding their nests, destroying their eggs and small birds).

Рад даје етнолингвистичку анализу три одреднице Речника САНУ: богомољица, богомољка, богомољчица.
