• Resumen

  • The present paper is based on the extended piece of research which is aimed at carrying out structural and lexical analysis of two contrasting plays -Shakespeare's Hamlet and Sumarokov's Gamlet in a specific linguistic domain. In this contribution, we will attempt to gain some insight into two essential content words, particularly nouns -vengeance and hono(u)r, their derivatives and related wordsthrough quantitative analysis of these words and qualitative analysis of their collocates and concordances.

    Collocational approach will be used to analyse and compare the ways the authors perceive the concepts of vengeance and hono(u)r. In general, the findings will indicate important similarities and/or differences between the structures of the plays per acts and both texts´ basic contents in relation to two important topics -vengeance and hono(u)r.
