ENDEMIC COMMUNITIES IN THE DISCOURSES – FROM SIMILARITIES TO DIFFERENCES

Abstracts

The research area, in which the boundaries between national and ethnic communities can show up very clearly, is the area of the southern Slavs. Discursive forms, very lively and emotionally-moving, verify the intrinsic qualities of the community for extending the definition of distinct categories, which range from contradictory, through intermediate, to identical. The purpose of this article is to provide some exemplification which was derived from the language corpora (infinite in its form) on which texts created by many generations of authors are set. It has been long indicated that the identity is linguistically conventionalized and therefore ethno-linguistic studies should aim at reaching out to these main elements which, when viewed holistically, create a picture of the community. The analyzed discursive forms point out that conflicts over axiological categories were endemic to assume the emotional strength and they are still alive. Ethnicity, whose relationship with the national feeling of community is not clearly defined today, has dominated the psychological horizon of the Yugoslavian conflict. Stereotypes, social memory of intercultural relations, and ethnic identity are objectively presented in the analyzed discourse. Moreover, the legitimacy of certain ethnic relations occurs (eg. of pluralism, or of domination and subordination).
