Summary/Abstract: Based on the idea that the sociolect is a linguistic variety specific of a particular social class, which function aims at both self-identifying and identifying social entities, which means that language becomes an epiphenomenon, a symptom associated with society, ensuring the cohesion among members (Dolník), while the idiolect refers to the linguistic specificity of a writer, which represents the idealization and abstraction of specific language marks, by means of which language becomes a heterofenomen, a symptom of the subjective vision of the world, mediated by the writer and shared by the others, ensuring the connection between the members of society, we have analyzed Timrava's short story The Heroes from the linguistic perspective.
