Abstract

At first glance it may seem that the grammatical and the pragmatic approach to a linguistic phenomenon have nothing in common, and that it is impossible to combine them. However, if we delve deeper into the grammatical descriptions of linguistic units on the morphological and the syntactic levels, we find that sometimes it is necessary to view certain elements in a wider context, i.e. that it is necessary to take into account their communicative context in order to describe them adequately. This paper therefore focuses on the identification of those elements, in Pranjković’s various grammatical descriptions of language, which Pranjković himself claimed needed to be approached from a different perspective, namely the pragmalinguistic one. Such an approach to individual grammatical descriptions, especially those that can be found in grammar books, is definitely a novelty in Croatian linguistics.
