This paper presents a comparison of randomly selected samples of occupational feminatives in four South Slavic languages: Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, and Macedonian. The starting point of the comparison was Slovenian, namely 104 randomly collected Slovenian feminatives, mostly referring to professional occupations. Equivalents of these feminatives, such with the same base, were sought for in relevant online dictionary resources also for the other three languages. The sources used were limited to online dictionary resources available for the languages in question. Although these sources differ in lexicographic concept and scope, we were also able to gain some sociolinguistic insight into the status and the level of attention given to the systematic lexicographic treatment of female-gendered equivalents in each language.
