Dopune hrvatskoj gramatici
Supplements to Croatian Grammar

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author suggests several supplements to the grammatical description of the Croatian language: two new kinds of declension should be introduced - adjectival declension (e.g. of the noun Hrvatska) and zero declension (e.g. for proper nouns such as Nives); in the description of adjectives. one should distinguish two kinds of declension separately from the category of definiteness. which is neither a morphological nor an adjectival category; the description of gender should be separated from the declension of nouns; and in addition to the masculine, feminine and neuter nouns, one should also distinguish nouns of general gender ( e.g .. pijanica - English: drunk (referring to a person) ), two-gender nouns (e.g .. pelud - English: pollen), and nouns of varying gender (e.g .. kolega I kolege - English: colleague).
