Abstract

This paper’s analysis compares and contrasts the syntactic (and suprasyntatic) elements defining orthographic principles and rules. The aim of the paper is to shed light on the theoretical and methodological aspects used to define syntactic principles contained within descriptions of orthographic norms - the Croatian norm, primarily - but also to examine certain other South Slavic languages, particularly Slovenian. An overview of punctuation marks is followed by a discussion on the distinctive features of punctuation principles (determinants). It establishes its narrow scope, leading to a review of complementary punctuation, given that it is chiefly found in comma usage principles (criteria).
