The article focuses on the changes of language and style in the different realisations of the lullaby. In a broad sense, the genre in question is understood as a category with blurred borderlines and encompasses traditional folk lullabies, lyrical lullabies for children, as well as poetic pieces that conform to the pattern. The analysis includes the style of lullabies of all aforementioned types, but primarily the literary ones. Literary lullabies (lullabies poems and lyrics refering to traditional lullabies) are, on the one hand, presented as recurring features stereotypically matched with the genre and, on the other hand, pieces that move away from the model and characterised by stylistic polyphony and employing contrast on a large scale.
