Summary/Abstract: We are talking about traditionally cultivated verbal literary genre of Bosnian literature - cantabile, performed by singing/reading in its real functioning like some other poetical genres (e.g. sevadalinka -oriental style love song). Lullaby is therefore, double coded: it has liberto (text that belongs to literary scholarship code) and performance/reading (which belongs to musical code and includes various repetitions, often lost while noting down a lullaby). Our analysis deals with the first code and the procedure...Lullaby is talk of mother to son (mother talks to her son) or wider-female talk, since it was performed by mothers/women. Mother/women talks about herself, so lullabies are also viewed from this aspect.
