Abstract

The present article is concerned with how the markedness of Slovenian terminology for black people changed throughout history. Relevant headwords in different dictionaries are examined, the primary focus being on how terms were labelled and how the definitions of headwords changed. The frequency of the use of certain terms throughout history is examined by means of an analysis of the corpus available on the portal Digital Library of Slovenia . The modern attitude towards select Slovenian terms denoting black people is defined by means of a survey, in which 309 people participated.
