Izražavanje komparativne kvalitativnosti padežnim oblicima i prijedložno-padežnim izrazima u bosanskom, hrvatskom i srpskom jeziku
Expression of Comparative Quality With Case Forms and Prepositonal (Case Expressions in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian)

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with issues related to the qualitative of comparative nature, its status in the grammar of Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, similarities and differences among them in terms of the grammatical determination of case and prepositional-case expressions of comparative-qualitative meaning. It describes semantic and oblique types of comparative qualitative and provides arguments against the classification of such linguistic units in the case and prepositional-case expressions of comparative meaning. The relationship between the case and prepositional-case expressions of the gradual-comparative meaning and to them similar case forms is compared. In this way, their semantics and inclusion in the concept of quality is established. Competitiveness with other language units is studied and terminological solutions are offered that lead to establishing differences between the case and prepositional-case expressions of comparative, comparative-qualitative and qualitative meaning. It is concluded that the case and prepositional-case expressions of the gradual-qualitative meaning occupy a special place in the system of the cases of qualitative meaning, and that such meaning should be emphasized in new grammars of Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian.
