Throughout history, due to various reasons, different languages have influenced the dialects spoken in Dalmatia today. It can be said with certainty that the strongest influence was the one that came from the Italian language and its northern dialects, among which the Venetian and the Triestine dialects particularly stand out. Given that the influence of the previously mentioned language on the dialects of Dalmatia lasted for centuries, its presence is still seen in their lexicon today. The aim of this work was to list and to present the studies that analyze the Italianisms present in the Dalmatian dialects and the Croatian-Italian contacts in Dalmatia. Based on the analysis of 53 studies, it can be concluded that most of the studies deal with the analysis of Italianisms on the etymological level. Many studies analyze them on the phonological, morphological, lexical and semantic level. Some studies deal with the role of Italianisms in the text, whilst other papers study Italianisms on the sociolinguistic level. Furthermore, we presented 6 works that study the Croatian-Italian language contacts in Dalmatia. Also, two lists of the analyzed studies are attached. The studies are listed according to the year of publication and in alphabetical order.
