Sažetak
Attribute is a syntactic category linked to a noun or a nominal regardless of its syntactic function. Attributes can be divided into congruent (e.g. z gustemi suzami) and incongruent attributes (e.g. posla obvršiteli ; torbica z penezi). Traditional syntax stresses the firm link that exists between the constituent elements of an attributive syntagm. This link is also reflected in continuous, i.e. uninterrupted, syntagms (e.g. takvoga dobroga staroga vina). Interrupted syntagms are possible in rhythmic, but not in syntactic terms (e.g. na zapoved dohađam tvoju). If we take into account the word order, we can notice that attributes can appear in apposition (e.g. dragi ljubleni prijatel) or in postposition (e.g. prek morja širokoga), frequently without any difference in meaning, but the difference in position results in different stylistic effects (e.g. način živlenja : živlenja način). Stylistic differences can also be identified in the case of other attributive structures (e.g. zapoved od oca : zapoved oca ; vu hiže Eufemijana : vu eufemijanski hiži). More contemporary approaches that focus on the organization of the utterance also include the supra-syntactic level, i.e. the level of discourse, and can raise some doubts regarding the function of individual syntagms. Thus, syntagms that at first glance are interpreted as adverbials of place (e.g. na nebu), can be analysed on the syntactic and the textual level, and as a result, attributes can be identified (e.g. zvezde na nebu). Specifically, by placing the intonational and syntactic boundary in two possible places, two alternative interpretations can be reached: *zvezde na nebu svetiju (na nebu = attribute) / *zvezde na nebu svetiju (na nebu = adverbial of place). In addition to this, some syntagms can only be understood with the help of a wider, situational context. This is particularly true in the case of subject genitives (e.g. ljubav bližnjega / 'someone loves their neighbour' : 'neighbour loves somebody'). The materials analysed in this paper come from three works by the Croatian Kajkavian playwright Tituš Brezovački (1757-1805), and we focus on those syntagms that lend themselves for interpretation on different levels.
