Some meanings of Croatian morphological instrumental and their English translation equivalents

Marka Filipović

Abstract

Morphological cases in languages with flexion have always been a challenge for theoretical linguists, and research on this field is still in progress. The aim
of this article is to show - on a limited corpus -by which means of expression some semantic nuances of the morphological instrumental case in Croatian are rendered into English. This is disclosed via translation from Croatian into English by the method of contrastive analysis used in the Yugoslav Serbo-Croatian-English Contrastive Project at the Institute of Linguistics in Zagreb under the direction of Professor Rudolf Filipović. The corpus in this article is collected mainly from modern Croatian prose translated into English by native speakers of English.
