Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author highlights the characteristics of conjunctions and other words functioning as connectors in the language of the lyrical folk poetry of Montenegro. The aforementioned part of speech is observed in the language of the lyric folk poetry of Montenegro, and the results obtained have been compared to the use of language in the Montenegrin oral and written tradition (according to monographs and works on them). The author has studied the common and distinctive language features found in the lyric folk poetry, folk speeches and the language itself. The author paid a special attention to the manners in which the conjunctions are used, as well as their form features which could be considered somewhat unusual, observed from the point of view of the modern literary and language norm.
