The aim of the paper is to explain the use of nominal tautologies by the speakers of the Slovak language. It focuses on a) the verification of propositional and pragmatic functions of nominal tautologies; b) the significance of lexical collocations for the contextual dependence of their interpretation. In the paper it is assumed that the semantic-pragmatic and illocutionary use of nominal tautologies forms the background of a conclusive character of practical (non-analytical) argumentation, and the acceptance of the corpus of operators, deictors and descriptive verbs has a crucial significance to the interpretation of the specific content. The article primarily studies the nominal tautologies from the pragmatic perspective; yet, it also considers the attitude and intention of the speaker, contextual significance of nominal tautologies in the case of individual use and the proportion of content between tautologies in the case of coordinative tautologies.
