The base of the study is the presumption that Messiahnism as an independent artistic movement disposes with unique, specific language. The author of the study on the bases of her interpretation of the poem Krajolik by Samo Bohdan Hroboň points out to those aspects of used poetic language, which appear as distinctive in relation to other contemporary works of Slovak Romanticism. She tries to define the nature of its exclusivity, which was described by attributes of being overburdened or closed by historians of literature. Hroboň ’s strategy is to bring move into the space of a poem through word formation. The focal point does not appear in a dynamic, truthful description that means in a verbal interceding but in powerful evoking through word formations or from the word formation structure producing onomatopoeic words. Such attempts to intercede the verbal dynamic speech of a super being through description of a country, or growing generating, regenerating of particular elements refer to a linguistic principal of mystically-pietistic origin, which presents a base of Messiahnic expression of exclusivity.
