O STILEMATIČNOSTI I STILOGENOSTI POJEDINAČNIH I ZDRUŽENIH VOKALA
ON STYLEMATICITY AND STYLOGENICITY OF INDIVIDUAL AND VOCALS IN CONTACT

Summary/Abstract: The paper before us is the first and the shortest part of a number of analysis and displays of the stylistic potential of separate and related phones of the complete phonetic system of Montenegrin language. Having presented the phonostylistic features of isolated vowels of the modern Montenegrin language, accompanied by adequate examples and comments of writers and stylists from Montenegro and other Slavic countries, the article describes the possibilities of achieving enhanced expressiveness by grouping similar or different vowels, and their role as carriers of the prosodic features, which also, have their place in stylistics. After the analysis of the potential of these phones and illustrative examples of their use, we conclude that vowels' stylogenic and stylematic traits, as seen from the linguistic stylistics point of view, might not be expressed as much as it can be said of certain sonorants and consonants, but each of them has a set of special features which stands out and provides the possibilities of stylistic use which we only associate with that individual vowel, while together with other vowels they expand the possibilities of realization of the full capacity of their stylistic characteristics, which can also be further intensified when prosodic differentiations are taken into account, since they are usually connected to vowels, which are the core of the syllable and carriers of the accent.
