Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with a type of noun that is known as copular predicative. More specifically, the analysis is about co-predicative constructions in which a noun that labels a certain class of the entities of the real world and abstract concepts or noun phrase takes the position of the lexical core. Semantics of noun predicatives has not been in focus in any Bosnian grammar literature so far and thus, with this paper, it will be attempted to establish the semantic typology of noun predicative classificator, through the application of structural and lexical criteria.
