Nominal lexemes in The Story of the Battle of Kosovo (Тhe Manuscript of the University Library)

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of nominal lexemes of one of the versions of The Story of the Battle of Kosovo – The Manuscript of the University Library. The manuscript originated in the first quarter of 18th century, and it was written in Old Serbian language, with only few lexical items from the Serbian Church Slavonic. The analysis of the corpus includes the analysis of the origin of the lexemes, derivational analysis, semantic classification, and paradigmatic analysis. Lastly, we examined the presence and positions of the analyzed lexemes and their meanings in the contemporary Serbian language by using lexicographical sources. The aim of the research was to portray the lexical complexity of the Manuscript, as it represents a part of the Serbian lexicon from the beginning of the 18th century, as well as to draw comparison between this area of synchronic structure of the Serbian language and the contemporary language. In the appendix at the end of the paper is the dictionary of the analyzed lexemes, including verifications from the Manuscript.
