About derived adjectives in the official use in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: In Bosnia and Herzegovina the official use of language in a written statement implies the publication of one document in three languages, so that all legal documents have three language versions. In this paper we analyzed the use of adjectives in these texts and singled out generative qualities of the adjectives used to compose the three version of the same text. Furthermore, normative status in each standard is presented separately, which allowed us to normatively assess their use. After the research it was confirmed that the distinction made between the language versions of the texts are based on the suffix formation of certain descriptive and related adjectives from nouns and the selection of different suffixes, and that some differences do not have the necessary normative or stylistic justification.
