Abstract
This paper deals with the notation of prepositions in Croatian language textbooks, especially those dealing with orthography. It studies only (selected) prepositions that are problematic in terms of orthography, and their description and analysis are based on several linguistic factors. The starting point is the chapter about the orthography of joined or separated affixes. In view of the fact that the problem of differentiation between one word (a preposition) and several words (a prepositional phrase) is in fact linguistic (composition, morphological and syntactical) and only secondarily a question of orthography, it was necessary to undertake a linguistic analysis. First of all its rules are studied, and they are compared with their description, and in the end with their linguistic usage.
