Sevdalinka – izazov za lingvostilistička istraživanja
Sevdalinka – a Challenge for Lingustic and Stylistic Interpretations

Summary/Abstract: An expressive-emotional impression that sevdalinka makes on a listener can primarily be explained by linguistic tools it is made with. Sevdalinka creates semantic perspective in which words turn into poetic imagery in the process of multi-metamorphosis. Poetic images contain a basic scheme of a poet’s conception and it is that conception that should be discovered. That is possible only with good understanding of the secret of language of sevdalinka, which represents a pattern of fragrance, melodiousness, simple and pure form, grace of emotional expression, pattern of the essence of lyrics etc. In simple words, we have shown in our paper that sevdalinka represents an inexhaustible well of linguistic turns, stylistic patterns and layered metaphors.
