Abstract
This paper presents the results of field research on prepositions with the
meaning ‘of, from, out of’ when preceding words in the genitive case and with the
meaning ‘(together) with; by means of’ when preceding words in the instrumental
case in the local vernaculars of Crikvenica and Grižane. The article is imagined
as a supplement to the basic inventory of prepositions in the Ekavian Čakavian
dialect and to their described distribution (Miloš 2016), in particular the coastal
subdialect, as well as the beginning of a similar study of the local varieties of the
Northern Čakavian Ikavian-Ekavian dialect. The local vernacular of Crikvenica
shows innovation with the standard prepositions iz, s and sa and with their uses
retain old Čakavian morphological extensions. The local vernacular of Grižane
shows a conservative state with a preposition z but in its innovations the old
Čakavian preposition zi is used (even in cases where it has not yet been recorded
– such as with words in the instrumental).
