Sažetak
The chapter analyses the semantically highly complex set of suffixations formed with –ište in Croatian. The authors model the extensions within the locative senses of this suffix and to its non-locative ones in terms of conceptually motivated metonymic shifts. The suffix –ište is hence a polysemous category, whose layout is carefully described by the authors. It is argued, however, that the suffix does not develop this polysemy in itself, i.e. in isolation ; instead, the meaning extensions of an affix occur via the combinations it enters with its various hosts. Under this view, the polysemy of affixes is a second-order, post-factum type of phenomenon.
