- Title
A cognitive semantic account of the prefix uz in Croatian.

- Abstract
This article examines the meaning of the prefix uz- in Croatian. First, I examine this prefix in nouns, adverbs, complex prepositions, and adjectives, and in the following sections I look at the verbal prefix uz-. After identifying a few subgroups of verbs prefixed with uz- in contexts of upward motion, an examination of paths of meaning extensions into domains that seem less related to upward motion follows, along with an analysis of the constructional behavior of a representative motion verb prefixed with uz-. The main question traced throughout the analysis is how the central meaning of upward motion relates to other meanings of the prefix.
