Sažetak
The paper gives an overview of the problems connected with the normative status of the particle/conjunction groups da li and je li as well as the particle/conjunction li. The authors show that there are some mistakes connected with the explanation of the normative status and the distribution of these groups and this particle and they question the normative rule according to which the group da li is substituted by the particle li (this is often mistakenly considered substitution of the group da li with the group je li, although the group je li, with the exception of the group je li da which has the function of a complementary question, doesn’t exist in the standard language as the particle/conjunction group as its first element always has the 3rd person present of the verb biti). The normative status of the group je li is determined, i.e. it is shown that it is either obsolete in Croatian or it belongs to colloquial style. They also challenge the rules according to which the normative status of the group da li in a direct question is different from its status in indirect questions and according to which the group da li in the standard language appears in expressing confirmation and in alternative questions. The authors give conditions for the substitution of the group da li with the particle/conjunction li, i.e. syntactic contexts in which this change it not possible or is not necessary are given.
