Summary/Abstract: In our article we focus on a debut novel Som plná Jeho slov written by Slovak author Ľudka Lipovská from linguistic point of view. Its genre can be characterized as a belletrisized religious testimony which primarily thematises the conversion of the author herself. We briefly reflect on the interesting composition of the book and focus in more detail on the nominal means of social, personal and spatial deixis. We take notice of means by which the author is referring to persons from the profane and the sacred sphere and persons from the sacral sphere. Author is also referring to herself, to items and spaces which played an important key role in the process of her conversion. The written work Som plná Jeho slov is a prosaic text with significant poetic/lyrical tendencies. For those reasons our article is one that stands between study and review.
