Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse vocative exclamations in Hamza Humo’s play Tri svijeta. Such expressions have been observed as expressive of either the speakers’ strong affective states or their habits, which is why vocatives are also used as ϐillers. In this paper, we will divide them on the basis of the functions they have in the play’s dialogues. Vocative exclamations in this play are polysemic and perform different functions, pivotally determined by their context.
