Summary/Abstract: The article presents the process of creating the CVET corpus, which contains the texts of Father Hijacint Repič published in the religious journal Cvetje z vertov sv. Frančiška between 1881 and 1916. The corpus then serves as the basis for a linguistic and stylistic analysis, carried out with the noSketch Engine tool. Frequency analysis of selected variables is used to describe Father Repič’s vocabulary and narrative style. Finally, the synchronic-diachronic and normative aspects of the older Slovenian language in the texts of the corpus are considered using the example of words of the type bralec/bravec.
