The study is focused on the multilateral language competence in Slovak language, on the contemporary state of Slovak (synchronous linguistic disciplines) in the context of other Slavonic and Indo-European languages, in the part of literary criticism on the history of Slovak literature, its specific features and its genre system. Slovak studies accentuate the comparative Czech-Slovak-Slavonic-Central-European-European area approach, in linguistic disciplines as a contrastive approach, in literary criticism as a comparatuive morphology and genre studies, i.e. the Czech-Slovak comparison in a wider Central-European, European and universal framework.
