Abstract

In the libretto of the opera Nikola Šubić Zrinjski by Zajc several groups of
ideologic(al) idioms may be found. The focus is placed on those ideologemes which play a significant role in the so-called national component of the artistic work. Therefore, the frequency may be interpreted in the context of the idea of nation, courage, self-sacrifice and loyalty. The ideologemes authenticate the meaning of the genesis
of the Croatian nation, as well as the primeval, i.e., the sacral elements of the story (myth) itself. The ideologemes related to territory/toponyms, persons and ethnicity, as well as to terms and syntagms are particularly singled out. The Finale of Nikola Šubić Zrinjski includes all the essential ideologemes (U boj, Zrinski, za dom, grad, junaci, ban, etc.), while the most frequent syntagm ‘U boj’ became an explicit Croatian
nationally identifiable idiomatic expression, as did the ideologeme Zrinski. The focus is on ideologemes which fall back on mythology (mythologemes), and as such determine and emphasize Croatian identity.
