Summary/Abstract: The author reviews some of Ljudevit Jonke’s language advice in relation to older and contemporary normative literature. Special attention is paid to the regularity in the usage of sentences containing a predicate with a particle and a direct object (Čita se Krležu), and to the growing usage of nominal words in stead of verbs (nominalization). The author also confirms the relevance of Jonke’s observations about the spreading of the use of the preposition za before the infinitive.
