JUST PUBLISHED: M. Taneski – Z. Taneski, „Etymology and Meaning of Poetic Word in the Works of P. O. Hviezdoslav (or Let’s read Hviezdoslav with understanding)“
The paper in Litikon (2025, Vol. 10, No. 2, pp. 5-12) focuses on selected lexical units that need to be decoded from an etymological and semantic point of view in the semantic interpretation of P. O. Hviezdoslav’s poetic texts. The article emphasizes the need for a deeper analysis of the author’s specific lexicon, which is a partial problem in the context of research into his work. At the same time, the issue can be considered one of the few areas of research into Hviezdoslav’s work that is still insufficiently developed and which, with the use of current advances in artificial intelligence, could contribute to a better reading reception. Given the contemporaneity of the language, as well as the author’s Parnassian orientation and his knowledge of several foreign languages, the article outlines an etymological and semantic analysis of selected lexical units, mainly from his shorter epics. It reflects the complexity of the reception of Hviezdoslav’s work and suggests how, with the help of etymological interpretation of words, it is possible to arrive at a deeper semantic interpretation and a more adequate interpretation of the poetic text.
