The image of Slovaks in Slovak and Ukrainian journalism is a part of a broader comparison of research on the mentality of Slovaks and Ukrainians and contributes in the theory of knowledge to the linguistic and cultural image of both nations. In the study, the author describes those components (schemes and constructs) that have appeared in Slovak journalism over the past decade, as well as in Ukrainian journalism for the same period. It is therefore a matter of looking at the Slovaks from the inside (by themselves) and from the outside (by their neighbours – the Ukrainians). The author works with the corpus collocative method as one of the linguistic research methods and helps with the description with the method of psycholinguistics.
