The issue of the language of a literary work was at the centre of attention of the Slovenská reč journal from the very beginning of its existence. It was related to the efforts of the editors to establish the standard of literary Slovak and increase its culture in practice, with a special emphasis on the culture and purity of the language of literature. Therefore, the contributions about the language of the literary works of Slovak writers are mainly published in the years 1932-1939, i.e. in the period of the peak of the purist focus of the journal, clearly of a language-critical nature: they point out language errors, especially Bohemisms in the analysed literary texts. After 1945, when Slovenská reč as a journal for the Slovak language research definitively abandoned the position of purism, contributions about the language of a literary work are oriented towards a functional analysis and interpretation of the language of a literary text.
