Summary/Abstract: The pragmatic and semiotic aspect of hospitality can be deciphered and interpreted through the semantic meaning of lexical units that elaborate this concept in the linguistic landscape of the world. The custom of visiting/paying a visit is a well-established pattern of maintaining contacts and a general model of refining patriarchal relationships. Conservative views are actualized in customs associated with preparing for and paying visits and receiving guests and so the socio-cultural phenomenon of paying visits in the culture of Prizren Serbs can be reconstructed through the concept of hospitality and its pivotal constituents of guest/visitor and host.
