On lexemes of foreign origin in church administrative style documents

Abstract

In this paper, we will try to observe the administrative documents in the field of sacral communication, collected in the book The Statutes and Regulations of the Belgrade Metropolitanate: 1857-1876, from the lexical standpoint. Specifically, we will point out the use of words of foreign origin and their linguistic and stylistic expression. The data on lexical changes are important for diachronic semantic research on the development of the lexical fund of the Serbian language.
