Abstract

This paper describes syntactic features of the publicist functional style from the normative and functional point of view, using examples from Croatian daily newspapers (24sata, Sportske novosti, Jutarnji list, Novi list and Večernji list), i.e. the syntactic features which can be defined as distinctive in the description of the style. These features include simplification of syntax, specific use of tenses, signalling of direct and indirect speech, nominalization, syntactic pleonasms and textual coherence. On the basis of the conducted research, conclusions are made about the typical as well as undesirable syntactic features of informational genres within the publicist style. The identified syntactic features are also a proof of the connection between the publicist style and other abstract styles.

Keywords
