Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the semantic features and syntactic positions of substandard form in Serbian za+ infinitive (for + infinitive), as well as the extralinguistic factors that influence its widespread use and tendency to spread. Within the structural pattern formed by the prepositional infinitive and the headword , the paper examines the semantic categories expressed by the given construction. The component and collocation methods are used for identifying the semantic features of lexemes in the given pattern. With regard to non-standard character structure preposition + infinitive +, its semantic and structural equivalents are also examined, as well as possible discrepancies considering synonymy.
