Summary/Abstract: This paper addresses the following questions: 1) what is the national language, 2) what is the relation between national language and standard language, and 3) how and to what extent is the national style associated with the national language and standard language. According to the author, there are two basic types of national styles – literary (standard) and non-literary (nonstandard). Each national style characteries two national markings – the expressive and functional stylistic. In the main part of the analysis the basic expressive functional stylistic differences between the national styles of Štokavian peoples (Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks and Montenegrins) are demonstrated.
