Abstract

The paper investigates the formation of nouns in modern standard Croatian with suffixes ending in -ar. A total of 11 such suffixes is established:

-ar, -jar, -ćar, -ičar, -ionar, -jančar, -lar, -ničar, -tar, -ušar.

Of this group, only -ar and -jar are productive, the rest being marginally productive or unproductive. For this reason, the author presents an exhaustive survey of suffixal formation with -ar and -jar on morphological and semantic levels. The remaining suffixes are dealt with only as much as is necessary to complete the outline of this sector of word formation in modern standard Croatian.
