Прилог опису eквативнoг генитива у српском језику

The Contribution to the Description of the so-called Genitive of Equation in Serbian Language

The subject of this paper is the description of the so-called Genitive of equation subclass in Serbian, namely the one being the non-omissible determiner of the qualitative genitive, instead of the colour adjective. The corpora were classified by one main criterion – according to the fact of what is being expressed by the genitive nominal – the OBJECT or the MATTER. We hypothesize that the colour concept is closer to concepts of the material kind than to countable objects. The author investigates the linguistic and psychological motivation leading to the use of the described genitive type, also having in mind the questions of its productivity.
