%X Sa£¿etak The language of Ante Star£¿evi£¿ (1823¨C1896), an extremely important Croatian politician and writer, was considered as ¡°peculiar¡± even by Star£¿evi£¿¡¯s contemporaries (e.g. Mihovil Pavlinovi£¿). However, little has been said about this peculiarity by Croatian linguists except the fact that since 1850. Star£¿evi£¿ consistently wrote Ecavian, literary Croatian in the second half of the 19th century being Jekavian. In the paper several features of Star£¿evi£¿¡¯s language are recognized and analyzed which might have been ¡°peculiar¡± to his contemporaries. These are (1) unreal conditional clause with the conjunction da + budem (perfect present of biti ¡®to be¡¯) + active participle, (2) anterior temporal clause with the conjunction kon £¿to or nakon £¿to ¡®after which¡¯, (3) prepositional phrase u supor ¡®as opposed to, conversely¡¯ (+ dative), (4) disjunctive use of the conjunction ali ¡®but¡¯, and (5) future tense formed by budem + infinitive
