Sažetak
Lexical borrowing has been one of the major features in the historical development of maritime Croatian, and Croatian maritime terminology in particular. The Italian element had influenced maritime Croatian for the most part of its existence, i.e. since 8th century until World War II. The English element has been dominating the development of maritime Croatian in the more recent history, with the first instances of the English influence being recorded as early as 1852. The paper deals with the study of the English element in the Croatian maritime terminology, with particular reference to phonological, morphological and semantic change. Introduction of the English element is also studied in view of the typology of the nature of language contacts between English and Croatian.
