Iliatyvo vartojimas dabartinėje lietuvių kalboje
Use of Illative in Modern Lithuanian

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of the research into the actual usage of Illative, it can be stated that Illative is an actual dialect form, actively used in everyday language as well as in some areasof standart Lithuanian. Its usage is limited by syntactic relations and usage area. The illative is restricted to a limited number of words, which would be a result of the spread of cliches rather than the influence of dialects. If an utterance with the Illative occurs in administrative language, it is equally frequent in other areas of standard language use; however, traditional Illatives are excluded from the usage of administrative Lithuanian. The Illative of nouns with the administrative meaning is a feauture of the the publicist style. One of the reasons for still preserving the Illative in standart usage is the language economy principle. The Illative is shorter and more convenient than the construction Accusative+prep į.
