Abstract

»Verbs of speaking« are an interesting semantically interrelated group of lexemes in Croatian as well as many other languages. The main aim of the present analysis is to show how the interrelationship between the Croatian verbs govoriti, razgovarati i pričati, can explain various substandard uses of the verb pričati, uses which are gaining ground not only in spoken Croatian but in the press as well.

Keywords
