Sažetak
Enclitics are the unstressed case forms of personal pronouns, the reflexive pronoun se, the interrogative particle li and the unstressed present tense forms of the auxiliary verbs to be and
to have. They do not have their own accent, instead, they are part of an stress unit in which
they "lean" on the stressed word and cannot hold initial place of the sentence. In sentences
with several enclitics, their order is strict and grammatically defined without any variation.
The order and position of enclitics are one of the features of Croatian as a second language
which are very difficult to learn, and therefore great attention is required during the teaching
process. The same importance is, therefore, given to the mutual order of enclitics, as well as to
the position of enclitics and enclitical clusters within a simple and complex sentence. In order
to master enclitics in the best possible way, students of Croatian as L2 need to process and
practice enclitics in Croatian L2 classes on the morphological, syntactic, prosodic and functional levels.
