Sažetak
National lullabies form part of a verbal romantic lyricism recognizable
by performance circumstances in the course of lull. Since birth, a child
in lullabies is pictured as a desired, beloved being to whom the entire
community, Christians and mythological individuals, plant and animal
world send well wishes and desired attributes, and predict welcomed future
around a specific mentality and national model. In a cradle, a multilayered
symbolic shield is made around the child. The analysis of motives
reveals and deepens the picture of the child’s world. Unexpectedly, curse
as an element in a lullaby does not play the same role as in its independent
micro-structural form. Its purpose in a lullaby is to strengthen
contextually the curse, and to express a dimension of emotional state of
lullaby’s performer. Unlike in Croatian and Bosniak lullabies, lullabies
recorded among Serbian community in Livno area portend an interesting
motif which seeks high social position for the child once grown up,
thus highlighting the differences in mentality and upbringing patterns.
Apart from its primary function, lullaby also has a secondary role of
transferring the focus on the mother in its intimate, narrative form.
