Summary/Abstract: The government phonology model presents one different approach to segments in respect to former phonological theories. Although this is the model that has not experienced its complete affirmation, we tried to apply it on the Bosnian phonological system. In that respect we consider that the government phonology model can be seen as functional in the case of the Bosnian language phonological system interpretation. We consider that the problem of defining some Bosnian language phoneme classes just confirms the government phonology postulate pointing out the importance of element placement in segment defining.
