„V TÝCH DLHÝCH NOCIACH DLHO PREMÝŠĽAVAM O TEBE, SLAVIANSTVO, NÁŠ SVETE TY!“ SLOVANIA A SLOVANSKÁ VZÁJOMNOSŤ VO VÝRAZOVOM PLÁNE LYRIKY P. O. HVIEZDOSLAVA

The aim is to abstract the authoring strategies, which are applied in the representation of Slavonicity at the lexical and morpho-syntactic level. The research sample consists of 42 poems written between 1868 and 1914 with an explicit Slavic focus. Methodologically, the research falls into the field of general linguistics (stylistics). The results show the dominance of the anthropomorphic principle in metaphorical representation, which also demonstrates the postulates of cognitive linguistics. On the other hand, the functional application of verbal categories is primarily related to the degree of unification of the lyrical subject with the Slavs, but also to the accentuation of their unity/numerosity, (un)favourable state and (lack of) prospects for the future.
