Summary/Abstract: Adjectives "Ottoman" / "Turkish and" Slovene" have broad and uncritical application in language. Analysis reveal that they are mere constructs: inside - in the countries we refer to as the "Balkan" and in the Occident, they have a complex and dynamic meaning. Their use of the nineteenth century to the present days, reveals variability and stratification of the content. The aim of this paper is to point the encounter, intertwining and crossing these meanings through the analysis of the colonial discourse.
