Polisemija sufiksa -ač i -aš u hrvatskom jeziku

Unlike the study of polysemy on the lexical level, the polysemy of word formation units still remains understudied in Croatian linguistics. The present paper concentrates on the polysemous suffixes -ač and -aš, since it is the derivations by these suffixes that prove most numerous in the corpus of new Croatian words. Apart from listing the most frequent semantic categories the words derived by the suffixes -ač and -aš belong to, the paper analyses the bases used to form new words by means of the two suffixes, and their structure. Since the semantic fields of words derived by the suffixes -ač and -aš partly overlap (e.g. 'agent' dodavač i softveraš), the paper will address the share of the two suffixes in the process of forming new words, and try to predict the future direction of semantic changes involving the suffixes -ač and -aš.
