Upotreba sintagmi s posesivnim pridjevom i posesivnim genitivom u bosanskome jeziku (na primjerima književnoumjetničkog stila)
The Usage of Phrases with the Possessive Adjective and the Possessive Genitive in the Bosnian Language (Exemplified with the Belletristic Style)

Summary/Abstract: In this paper there was an attempt to find the answer to the question which form- adjective or genitive case, and under which circumstances, Bosnian and Herzegovinian writers use to express the categories of possession in the belletristic style. The achieved results do not confirm the attitudes from the grammar literature which propose the usage of possessive adjective whenever possible, since very frequent examples of the genitive case are noted, even in the examples where the adjectival form is categorically prescribed. Therefore, we can not speak neither about the prevalence of the adjective, nor about the sporadic occurrence of the genitive case. It is obvious that the grammatical norm and the linguistical practice even do not agree upon the phenomenon.
