Popis: The paper discusses the Slavic lexis denoting human traits and emotions in Glisa Elezovic?s Dictionary of the Kosovo and Metohija Dialect. The author of the dictionary collected the material at the very beginning of the 20th century, which means that the volume presents the lexical material of the nineteenth century and possibly even earlier (since the material for the dictionary also comes in part from a written document from the eighteenth century). The present analysis of the lexis results in a large number of conclusions with respect to the culture of the nineteenth-century Serbs who lived in Vucitrn, and in Kosovo in general. Also, it is possible to arrive at a number of observations concerning the word-formation processes, as well as the semantic diachronic changes in the Serbian lexis.
