LINGVOSTILISTIČKI ASPEKTI INTERKULTURNOG DIJALOGA U PJESMI „BANOVIĆ STRAHINJA“
LINGUISTIC-STYLISTIC ASPECTS OF INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE IN THE POEM "BANOVIĆ STRAHINJA"

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes from the perspective of linguistic stylistics an apparently secondary episode of the folk epic poem "Banović Strahinja", which was communicated to Vuk Karadžić by one of his two most important poet-singers in the territory of today's Montenegro - Starac Milija from Kolašin. The focus is on the relationship between members of two different religions and cultures, presented through the protagonist's encounter with an old dervish, to which the folklore creator devotes almost a quarter of his work, around two hundred verses. By interpreting the poetic function of figures of analogy (metaphor, contrast), by analyzing the stylogenicity of selected language units at the lexical, syntagmatic and syntactic level, it is concluded that the opposite characters, regardless of the fact that they are determined by different religious affiliations, have the same ideals: truthfulness, mutual respect, humanity, courage and the ability to forgive. The dialogue between Strahinja Banović and the dervishes is observed as an element of anticipation of the poem's epilogue, i.e. as an indispensable tool for decoding the reasons for forgiving a woman's infidelity.
