Word formation in pre-standard Croatian grammars

Abstract

Research on the word-formation process as described in Croatian pre-standard grammars (written by Kašić, Križanić and grammars of the kajkavian literary language) has shown that word formation is described in all examined grammars to a greater or lesser extent, but no separate chapter is devoted to this subject. These descriptions of the word formation process are more implicit than explicit, except in Križanić's grammar.
