Summary/Abstract: This paper will examine from linguistic standpoint how Andrić utilizes Bakhtin’s concept of heteroglossia (raznorechie) in his novel The Woman from Sarajevo. In the text linguistics and text stylistic one of highly interesting and important topics is the question of representation of (novel) characters’ (protagonists’) discourse (speech and thought). Following Bakhtin’s notion of heteroglosia and Leech & Short’s and Kovačević’s classification of types of represented speech and thought, the author of this paper conducted investigation of the types and functions of the direct and indirect discourse in Andric’s novel The Woman from Sarajevo (Gospođica). The analysis shows the existence of numerous types of the representation of direct and indirect speech and thought with different narrative/literary functions.
