THE PRINCIPLES OF TEXTUALITY IN B E Ć AR AC

Barišić, Ana Tereza

The author brings the basic data on the notion of šokaštvo and its origin, as well as its various definitions. This work gives a depicted definition of bećarac (Slavonian humorous-ribald folk song), its function and use. It tries to explain the semantic background of the decasyllabic couplet and its intermediality, minimalism and the two-term structure, i.e. the composition of the two decasyllabic couplets. The central part of this work is dedicated to the definition of the text, the criteria of textuality through which one endeavors to show that bećarac is indeed a textual form and to what extent it meets the constitutive and regular principles. This work also presents numerous examples of miniature couplets with which it provides significant contribution to the view of Slavonian legacy. K e y w or d s : šokaštvo, Slavonian, bećarac, verse, text, regulatory and constitutive principles, speaker, recipient.
