Abstract

 Congratulations from “The great book (Wreath) of most beautiful congratulations and well-wishes” for children, youth, and adults entitled Veliki čestitar are analyzed with regard to the way their content was created – in verse/verses or in prose, their communicative and pragmatic function, content, linguistic and stylistic features. The category of congratulations can also be singled out, the use of which in public space and communication can be regarded as a way of preserving linguistic and cultural identity that, depending on the specific sociolinguistic context, can also be a minority identity. In conclusion, the conducted analysis is seen as a contribution and stimulus to language culture at the time of its publication, but also in the context of its features which can be considered universal.
