Негативни стереотипи о животињама у српској језичкој слици света

Abstract

The subject of this paper is a lexicological and linguo-cultural analysis of zoological lexemes in the Serbian language and establishing basic stereotypes in the Serbian culture about various animals whose secondary semantic realizations refer to humans. The aim of this paper is to determine negative cultural and national stereotypes about animals and to establish typical relationships of the Serbian language community toward animals (through extra-linguistic, social, and culturological circumstances).
