Više od riječi: suodnos idiomskih skupina, kolokacija, višečlanih onima, višečlanih naziva, perifrastičkih konstrukcija te složenih subjunktora i složenih prijedloga
More than just a word: correlation of idioms, collocations, multi part onymes, multi part terms, periphrastic constructions, and complex subjunctives, and complex prepositions

Summary/Abstract: Since grammar and lexicon are in a continuum, this paper examines the multi-component units that create continuum. Namely, multi-component units such as idiom, collocations, multi-part onymes, multi-part terms, periphrastic constructions, complex subjunctives and complex prepositions are united by one syntactic role, and often there is no clear line of demarcation that could be drawn between them. This clearly shows how the enumerated class of constructions also reflects the continuum in which grammar and lexicon exist. The boundaries between them are permeable, but each of the mentioned categories is characterized by at least one (categorical) peculiarity – by which they can be classified as prototypical. According to the theory of prototypes – each category has a centralized member, according to which boundaries are drawn and prototypical characteristics are transmitted to other members of the given category. This means that they are organized radially and that, moving towards the periphery, we should expect a larger number of units that also take on the characteristics of other categories. In this paper, using the example of the relationship between the mentioned multi-component units, we try to show what can be considered their central feature and which features they share with each other. One should remain aware of the fact that the question of the finality of defining the differences between the mentioned lexical connections cannot be exhausted by one such work. Therefore, this paper only tries to touch on the given topic in order to open further discussions about “solid” lexical links and their relationship in Bosnian.
