Summary/Abstract: To learn and master any language means to acquire the language system and the language structure, in other words, what is usually referred to as the genius of the language, its formal substance as well as all the potentials and restrictions which appear within a language system, especially in early language acquisition of Croatian language. Through some examples of the formation of nominal gender semantic pairs we have attempted to determine their frequency in speech and to establish theoretical language combinations on the borderline between morphology, syntax and semantics.
