On the Solid and Divided Writing of Prepositional Phrases
Sanda Ham
Abstract
The description of semantic and grammatical relations within idiomatic expressions should offer an answer to the question of whether a preposition and a n oun in an idiomatic prepositional phrase form a new meaning that should be marked in spelling by
being written together, as one word, and that should thus be distinguished from a different meaning in a prepositional phrase used freely, outside of the idioma tic expression: in other words this description should suggest which spelling should be accepted,
the one where the phrase is written as one word: nizdlaku, uvjetar, uglavu, naruku, or where it is written as separate words: niz dlaku, u vjetar, u glavu, na ruku ... The answer is unambiguous- the new meaning is not acquired by coalescing of the prepositional
phrase, but by the transformation of the meanings of all elements of the idiom - idiomatic prepositional phrases should not be written together, but as separate words: niz dlaku, u vjetar, u glavu, na ruku ...
