Abstract

This paper gives an analysis of the syntactic function of the comparative genitive in the Old Croatian language. The research is based on a corpus of Croatian medieval poetry. The confirmations of the comparative genitive are provided together with its syntactic functions and positions in sentences (verses). A special emphasis is put on the non-prepositional comparative genitive in the function of the adverbial of comparison. Its usage is archaic in the modern Croatian language.
