The contribution first offers a short description of the long-term dialectological-socioliguistic project A lexical inventory of Slovene folk language in Carinthia that began in 1980 in Graz and its current (2007–2010) short-term continuation in the form of the project Lexemes and the spread of isolexemes in Slovene dialects in Austrian Carinthia. Within the scope of the latter, an analysis was carried out of words for šcorn’ in Slovene dialects in Austrian Carinthia (turka, turkinja, turščica, sirek and koruza) and their inclusion in the system of names for corn in Slovene dialects as shown on the already published map on the basis of the material for SLA. Individual adjectival, nominal and
verbal derivatives from the lexeme sirek point in the direction of the widening of the isolexeme.
