	[Project Rastko] THE HISTORY OF SERBIAN CULTURE - The oral tradition: Nada Milošević-Đorđević
		With the demise of the Serbian medieval state, the historical traditions and epic poetry became the only integrating factor for the Serbian people, the most important elements of the communication system in the culture, and a means of spiritual survival and resistance to assimilation.
		They are a memorial to the Serbian warriors, but the epics also present their convincing psychological portraits, beginning with Karađorđe and including one of the most noble characters in Serbian history and in Serbian epics - Prince Ivo of Semberija, who bought back slaves from the Turks, and died in poverty because of it.
		The Serbian version of the departure into the world of adventure in the familiar international story type about an animal which flies from its cruel master, joined by other tortured creatures, is a story of animals taken by the haiduks as the only possible form of protection from evil.

	The Heavenly Kingdom in Serbia's Historic Destiny
		The first evidence of this appeared among the Serbian saints, who through their ascetism, virtues, and suffering were constructing a spiritual ladder to the Kingdom of Heaven for their people and who exemplified through their lives the manner in which the world, the path of history, and man's deeds within it should be evaluated.

		The focus of most proverb books is a short piece of knowledge that can be used to illustrate a point or add something deep and meaningful to a speech.
		A collection of proverbs or quotations is at one level, a string of precious gems of thought, loving selected and strung together by someone who has an infinite number of thoughts and ideas to choose from.

		In investigations of the language of proverbs, little has been done, however, in concrete terms to find out just what kind of formulae proverbs are made of.
		Applying the principles of Jakobson's binarism, and literary semiotics, and starting from a hypothesis that the formulaic nature of the proverb is more fundamental than indicated by the word-pairs in Levin's classification, and that all three aspects of proverbial semiosis are necessary in order to account for it, this paper has two aims.
		The analysis considers whether it can be demonstrated that proverbs of this type too are varieties of the bipartite formula, and, if not, whether such proverbs perhaps belong to some other formula.
