Summary/Abstract: The Neglected Woman by Nazor belongs to the most beautiful Croatian love poems, uniting the love of man with the love of nature. The artistic value of a poem is lagerly determined by the readers themselves. That is why we are interested in the effect this Chakavian poem has on its readers. As a matter of fact, we are interested in how much the language itself (Chakavian dialect) is a component of an enhanced expressiveness. Or, in other words, how much the Chakavian dialect in this poem of Nazor functions as a stylem for those Croatian readers whose mother dialect is not Chakavian.
