摘要：This paper discusses ways of applying a cognitive linguistics approach when describing prepositions in teaching Croatian as a foreign language. The first part of the paper describes the traditional and the collocation approach to teaching prepositions, highlights their disadvantages, and presents an overview of existing literature. The main part of the paper summarizes basic assumptions on which the cognitive linguistic approach to prepositional meanings is based on, and indicates possible advantages of this approach when teaching prepositions in a foreign language. Theoretical assumptions are exemplified by describing selected meanings of the preposition ``do''. The purpose of this paper is to stimulate the development of new and contemporary approaches to teaching Croatian as a foreign language.
