Leksička slojevitost u jeziku Nikole Lopičića (lingvistički i stilistički pristup)
Lexical Complexity in the Language of Nikola Lopicic (linguistic and stylistic approach)

Summary/Abstract: By using the linguistic and stylistic approach to studying Nikola Lopičić’s language, the author has tried to analyse the lexical complexity and, at the same time, to examine the degree of its stylistic expression, bearing in mind that a lexical language level plays a special role in a writer’s stylistic expression. Therefore, the author has selected, aside from the general words, a significant number of lexemes taken from dialects, words of foreign provenance and the authentic writer’s vocabulary, and the expressions that, are, due to their unusual ways of formation and meaning, especially stylistically marked, paying attention to augmentatives and diminutives that complement the lexical categories in the language of Nikola Lopicic. The analysis demonstrates the expected deference in style of the listed lexical categories, but also the uncontested fact that a rich and varied vocabulary in a writer’s language is an essential element for enriching his literary expression.
