Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author describes various criteria for determination, classification and description of unchangeable parts of speech in Croatian and in foreign grammar books. Special attention is paid to words that are in some grammar books (of Slavic languages) classified as a separate part of speech. Such words (referred to with different terms: predicative, Zustandswort, ... ) are used in impersonal sentences, as lexical parts of the predicate, and they are specified as a separate part of speech according to functional criterion. Words pass into the class of predicative (such as, for example, zima mi je and hladno mi je) from various, basic, parts of speech.
