Summary/Abstract: A writer whose golden age of creative work was between the two wars, Hamza Humo, with his speciic style, bursting with emotionalexpressive means, ofers thrive opportunities for linguostylistic, lexicalsemantic and other analyzes. his paper deals with emotional-expressive means on a corpus of four narratives: Sevdalijina ljubav from 1925, Ašikovanje and Priča o Jasiki from 1927. and Krnata from 1932, in which Humo has woven orientalisms, words with exceptional stylistic potential, and which we have divided into orientalisms in the function of localizing the action, orientalisms in the function of describing the action and events, orientalisms in the function of characterizing and describing characters, and orientalism in the function of expressing emotions. The inluence of expressionism in Humo’s artistic work is seen in selected narratives, which as a characteristic have speciic word formations and sentence constructions. hrough metonymies, personiications, comparisons and other means of expression, along with expressive vocabulary, Humo ampliies the emotionality and semantics of his expression. He marked the mental states and moods of his characters with numerous exclamations as a category of expressiveness. he paper, therefore, provides insight into the analysis from the aspect of language, which is relected in the presentation of linguistic and expressive resources, characteristic vocabulary and expressive resources with which Humo „painted“ his characters, described amorousness, longing and urge, if we take into account the fact that selected stories are love themed.
