IMENIČKI I GLAGOLSKI EKSPRESIVI U ĆOPIĆEVOM DJELU
NOUN AND VERB EXPRESSIVE VOCABULARY IN ĆOPIĆ'S LITERARY WORK

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with expressives as a unit of the lexical-semantic analysis. In fact, the lexemes marked as the expressive layer form a separate layer of units of second level nominations. Even though they are placed on the margin of the lexical system, it does not diminish their importance in language. The analysis of the novel Eagles Fly Early (Orlovi rano lete) written by Branko Ćopić has pointed to a variety of expressive phenomena, but the notice is focused on nominal and verbal expressives, such as ispičutura (alcoholic) and smrsiti (do something unprecisely). It has also been noticed that emotionality, as an inseparable part of expressiveness, is located among the selected expressives, such as djevojčurak (a sweet, young girl). A particular part of the expressives is made up by the ones with hypocoristic, diminutive, augmentative and pejorative meaning. Thus, the aim of this paper was to draw attention to expressiveness as a universal category, which is very important concerning the lexical-semantic aspect of the analysis. At the same time, the excerpted material has confirmed its role in the linguistic work of the writer and the literary work.
