Radu se prilaže transkripcija čitava fragmenta drame.This paper discusses the usage of language and style in an unpublished fragment of the play Vladimir by Ignac Kristijanović. Behind his language usage, there lies a network of reasons and circumstances that must be taken into account when discussing Kristijanović\u27s linguistic creativity and the peculiarities of his Kajkavian dramatic language. Kristijanović wrote various literary and linguistic texts, the language of which he adapted to the genre, purpose, and audience. He was gifted in writing dramatic literary texts, skilfully using his language to outline characters and portray situations with expressive elegance and persuasive dialogue.
