A Rough Guide to the Prepositional System of the Croatian Language

Prepositions are among the most frequent words in the languages that possess them, as Croatian does. In contrast to this fact, little attention is given to their descriptions in Croatian grammar books, only several pages, especially when it comes to pedagogical grammar books intended for usage in schools. In addition to that, the approaches to presenting the morphosyntactic and semantic properties of prepositions in the grammar books and dictionaries could be labelled as inconsistent and unsystematic. This is a major problem, especially when it comes to learning/teaching of Croatian as a second language. The present paper tries to address these issues and present a systematic and general overview of the prepositional system of the Croatian language.
