Abstract

The article gives data about uses of the apostrophe in writing of texts of various kinds in Croatian language. Data from Croatian orthography handbooks of last century and a half are compared.
The apostrophe is an important signal about omitted letters only when a word is recognizable and therefore the sign realy can help in understanding, otherwise it is redundant, because it hampers the reading.
