THE DIVISION AND THE VOCABULARY LACKING IN INTELLIGIBILITY
THE DIVISION AND THE VOCABULARY LACKING IN INTELLIGIBILITY

Summary/Abstract: The basic contemporary terms, occurrences and phenomena the life in Kosovo and Metohija have mostly resulted from the effects of some basic processes: the formation of ghettoes in the Serbs’ social life, the domination of the Albanian ethnocracy where the isolated Serbian communities/enclaves live and the collapse of the system established by the international community for the purpose of protecting human rights and the implementation of law. The superimposed isolation, unintelligible dynamic of the ghettoes, neo-romanticism of the Albanians, the interests of great powers, ideological heritage, ignorance, ‘epical’ obstacles, political correctness and language discrimination – they have all produced a new terminology or revised the old one which has moved into our present-day communication. The search for signs, symbols and terms supposed to be able to create a multiple and varying interpretation of one truth on the opposing sides in the conflict has built up a kind of the ‘vocabulary lacking in intelligibility’. The Serbian social life, cultural and scholarly public, as well as the political spectrum – facing ambiguities, interests, quick change/mutation of the new reality – are basically forced to consume that kind of untruth which partially implies consent to possible fatal consequences. This contribution is made up of parts of some texts which – dealing with a variety of topics – defined and registered that new vocabulary and the language of lacking intelligibility built in order to (among other things) establish some new divisions and separations in the new, forcibly constituted entities.
