RIJEČI VOLJA, ČAS I MJESTO IZMEĐU IMENICA I VEZNIKA
WORDS VOLJA, ČAS AND MJESTO BETWEEN NOUNS AND CONJUCTIONS

Summary/Abstract: The paper describes the syntactic behaviour of the words volja, čas and mjesto, which are primarily nouns, but sometimes in grammatical literature they are attributed to conjunctions, at least in some constructions. It has been proven that these words are never conjunctions. The word volja is always a noun, as well as the word čas. In the constructions in which these words in literature are attributed to conjunctions, other words of similar meaning may be used, for example, želja (instead of volja) or minuta, sekunda (instead of čas), which additionally confirms that in these constructions the words volja and čas are nouns. The word mjesto is never a conjunction, but it can be a preposition. As a preposition, it is synonymous with words umjesto and namjesto, while the noun mjesto does not have these synonyms.
