ЈАЗИЧНИТЕ ИНОВАЦИИ И ИЗРАЗ ВО ФУНКЦИЈА НА СТИХОТ (врз примери од поезијата на Ацо Шопов) / LINGUISTIC INNOVATIONS AND EXPRESSIONS IN VERSE FUNCTION (based on examples of Aco Šopov’s poetry)

Abstract

At the beginning of the article, we refer to the language expression of the
young Aco Šopov, who realized his first poetic expressions as a young man in the whirlwind
of the National Liberation Struggle in the Macedonian language, despite the fact that his
education until the beginning of the war had been Serbian language. Hence the great
number of the so-called Serbianisms in his poetry, but also certain lexical dialecticisms
(often with an opaque meaning, cf. klčki), but also grammatical ones, such as the use of
ordinary plural in “раци” instead of the standard “раце”, as a remain of the former duality
in Old Slavic language. In addition to this, the poet often approaches the creation of new
words in the function of the verse, cf. чмај ‘Despair’, мртвоса ‘to die’, злост ‘malice, evil’
etc.
