Abstract

The paper deals with the ways of formation of adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns and conjunctions in Tadijanović’s work Svašta po malo. The authors pay special attention to the types of word-formation which are unusual because of the meaning of the compound or derivative, the formation of unusual compounds or derivatives according to models which already exist, as well as different approaches and possible explanations of various types of word-formation and the relationship of motivated and unmotivated words from the point of view of historical and contemporary word-formation.The analyzed problems are compared to the words recorded in Rječnika hrvatskoga ili srpskoga jezika JAZU.
