Македонски говори у песништву Милосава Јелића
Macedonian Dialects in the Poetry Composed by Milosav Jelić

Summary/Abstract: Being a writer, narrator and playwright he left an interesting literary opus in which he was using largely Macedonian dialects. Owing to this, his opus appears to be an authentic source with regard to the language circumstances in Macedonia at the beginning of the twentieth century. Publishing his works in special books and periodicals of that time he created an unusual literary work on the lives of Serbian soldiers and officers who, as they were serving in different regions, preserved individual sentiment relating to the language of the region in which they dwelt. This is how he became a part of the pleiad of Serbian officers and literaries (Jovan Dragašević, Milutin Jovanović to mention but a few) who merged through their creatorship their talent and military service. Macedonian dialects are commonest in the collection of songs “Serbian Wreath” (Srbijanski venac) where he praised in songs the most prominent individuals having fought for the liberation of Macedonia (Vojvoda Gligor, Dušan Jezdić, Vojvoda Skopljanče, etc.).
