Abstract

In this paper the author analyzes grammatical and lexical means used in the adaptations of the Word of Love (written by Stefan Lazarevi} in early 15thcentury) to the modern Serbian language. Starting from the original, author compares thirteen languages adaptations and prezents simillarities and differences between them. There are no two identical translations. In order to present experience of old times in Serbia at the best way, each translator used some of grammatical and lexical forms of serbian slavic language, for example nouns with suffix -ije: carstvije, vazigranije, darovanije etc., compounds: ~udodelije, bistrote~no etc. But, gerunds didn’t often use in this adaptations. The analysis shows the difficulties, problems and dilemmas that arise when adapting old texts in the modern language.
