eng	Ethnocultural Symbolism in the Song Folklore of the Ethnic Group Known as the Slovak Roma	For generations, the Romani musical folklore, or rather its literary section, which is the focus of this presentation, has preserved specific ethnocultural meanings. The body of these meanings gradually transforms in time, some of the symbols or metaphorical phrases become marginal or vanish entirely while others constitute a constant core resistant to change. The purpose of this paper is to show the essence of the special characteristics of the ethnocultural symbolism of the Romani songs or, when applicable, their qualitative changes in the course of time. As sources, the author has used the corpus of primarily authentic Romani texts that he has collected in the past three decades. However, he has also used the written sources related to the Romani song in the area of the Czech and Slovak Republics. The author analyses the texts in order to explain, in the emic perspective, also the ethnopsychological dimension of some mental patterns and, on occasions and sources allowing, the historicity of the songs as well.	the Slovak Roma; Song Folklore; Ethnocultural Symbolism; Czech and Slovak Republics
