Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to present and specify the possibilities of quantitative corpus analysis of verse, which was characteristic for the work of the representatives of the avant-garde movement of Nadrealism – the Slovak variation of Surrealism (Rudolf Fabry, Július Lenko, Vladimír Reisel, Štefan Žáry, and others). The article consists of three chapters. The first one summarises the previous research on the versological aspects of Nadrealism and characterises their general features. Then, isolated attempts at quantitative analysis of the verse are presented and critically evaluated. The conclusion presents the possibilities of quantitative research of this type of verse in digital processing, with the need to create a digital corpus of poetic texts that could be used for the analysis of a variety of versological problems. The aim should be not only the digitisation of Nadrealist texts, but also of the whole complex of Slovak poetry, so that selected problems can be studied in their interrelations and also from developmental aspects. From the methodological point of view, the study follows the current research in the field of quantitative versology.
