About Derivatives in the Poetry and Prose of Don Mihovil Pavlinović

Summary/Abstract: After reviewing the most important works dealing with Pavlinović's word formatin, the article analyzes the formatively motivated words in the book Pjesme i besjede by Mihovil Pavlinović. Years 1860-72. The selected Pavlinović's book offers a simultaneous insight into his poetic and prose texts. In this work, he also included his poem Ognjišar (which was independently printed in Zadar in 1865). Based on Pavlinović's selected and analyzed suffixal, prefixal, and prefixal-suffixal derivations and pure compounds and words created by complex-suffix derivation, it has been concluded that this author carefully thought about his linguistic solutions, trying to use the formative possibilities of the Croatian language, i.e. the openness of the Croatian word formation, while also relying on the Croatian literary linguistic tradition.
