Abstract

Teaching syntax in the context of the new Croatian national education standard
has dramatically changed in comparison to the previous standard. The new
standard (HNOS) dating from 2005 brings about many changes when it comes to
teaching Croatian language and syntax is no exception. In grade 7, when the
basics of syntax are taught, pupils learn the meaning and function of
sentences, how the sentences are made and produced, and also sentence parts and their functions. A chapter on adverbials, being an extremely important part of
sentence structure, has been dramatically reduced. Therefore, this paper will
analyze adverbials as presented in two different textbooks, one from the
pre-HNOS (1998) and one from the post-HNOS period (2008) and their relation to
the description of adverbials in Croatian grammar books from 1997 to 2005.
