Summary/Abstract: Having in mind the fact that the research of Serbian literary linguistic idiom from the 18th and 19th century indicates that slavenisms were not used only when it was necessary to fill in the so-called onomasiological gaps, but their use had a particular stylistic function, the central issue of this paper is the issue of the functionalization of slavenisms and their relationship towards the genre (literary artistic, publicistic, administrative and scientific), primarily in Slavic Serbian texts, with a short introduction regarding various interpretations of this concept in Serbian studies. Having in mind the fact that the research of Serbian literary linguistic idiom of the 18th and 19th centuries has been fragmentary, the paper offers both a synthetic view of what has been established in the field so far and it also indicates possible future tendencies in those genres that have so far not been the subject of a more detailed analysis.
