Sažetak
The paper problematizes the assumption that exists among Slavists (Bailyn 2002; Richardson 2006; Markman 2008) that depictive secondary predicates in Croatian can only appear in case agreement with their controller, which excludes the possibility of depictives marked by predicate instrumental. This assumption is challenged by constructions X FINDS Y IN A STATE Z AND X ENDURES IN A STATE Y in which the appearance of depictives marked by the instrumental – although rare – can be predicted. In order to describe the classes of verbs and adjectives that are used in these two constructions as well as morphosyntactic and semantic features that motivate the continual usage of depictive instrumental case in Croatian, we rely on corpus analysis and the theoretical framework of Construction Grammar.
