This paper examines the linguistic image of the word “matka” (mother) in Slovak and its profiles. Theoretically, the paper is based on the principles of Slavic ethno-linguistics, and the examination of the Slovak linguistic image of mother relies on available relevant linguistic and empirical data. The analysis of linguistic data includes an examination of the lexical meaning captured in explanatory dictionaries, an examination of images of mother in Slovak phraseological units, as well as of the etymology of the lexeme “matka”. The empirical data was collected via questionnaire, and the paper both evaluates and correlates it with linguistic image of the word “matka” in Slovak. Finally, the paper enumerates individual profiles of “matka” in Slovak.
