Jurica Budja ; Institut za hrvatski jezik i jezikoslovlje, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

This paper attempts to provide an overview of the phenomenon of the
delimitative prefix po- in Croatian and the other three štokavian languages. Verbs with this prefix are examined diachronically, from their first confirmation up to 19th century, and are arranged in motivational sequences. The whole network is derived from a few static verbs, such as postojati. Verbs with single po- and double po- are analysed separately.

Keywords

Croatian; prefixation; delimitative verbs; verbal prefix po-; diachrony
