Vegri etc.) which in its poetics usesd stylistic devices or qualifiers: semantic (personification, metaphors), terminology (cosmetic), stylistic (biblical, formal, poetic, administrative, dialectal, childish, colloquial, jargon), expressive (expressive, euphemistic, ironic, affectionate, low, pejorative, funny, vulgar) and antique (antique, old fashioned). Alongside examples of uses of language devices exercises are shown involving the development of language creativity using SSKJ 2 (Dictionary of Standard Slovene Language 2).
