Značenja i funkcije lokativa s prijedlozima u, na i po u bosanskome jeziku
The Meaning and the Function of the Locative With the Articles u, na, po, In Bosnian

Summary/Abstract: This paper gives insight in the meaning and function of the locative case with the prepositions u, na and po, on the basis of Bosnian literature language’s study. I started my research first by analyzing the meaning and then the function of these constructions in sentences, so all the classifications in this paper are organized according to that. The basic conclusions which I made can be described as it follows: – locative with the preposition u can have the meaning of place, time, additional circumstance, cause, instrument, aspect and state in which something can be. These prepositional constructions have mostly the function of adverbial phrases in a sentence, and sometimes the function of adjective phrases, indirect objects or lexical particles of a non–verbal predicate; – locative with the prepositions na and po referes to place, time, aspect, instrument and cause, and in sentences these constructions have the function of adverbial phrases, adjective phrases, indirect objects or lexical particles of a non–verbal predicate. In the last chapter I analized the relations and possible mutual replacements of the prepositions u, na and po in the locative case of some categories, and the influence which these replacements can have on the meaning.
