U radu se analiziraju hrvatski pridjevi Vranciceva rjecnika nastali izvodenjem i slaganjem. Jedan broj pridjevskih tvorenica baštinio je Vrancic iz starohrvatske književnosti, koje su poslužile istodobno kao model za leksikografove znatno brojnije samostalne tvorbene zahvate. S obzirom na specifican put nastanka petojezicnoga rjecnika u clanku se pridjevske izvedenice promatraju u cjelini Vranciceva leksikografskoga pristupa. Posebna je pozornost upravljena suodnosu tvorbe i znacenja.Vrancic’s dictionary has a considerable number of adverbial derivatives, while the number of compound adjectives is noticeably smaller. General descriptive adjectives are derived with suffixes -(a)k, -(a)n, -en, -it, and derivatives coincide semantically to todays words. In the category of adjectives with special meaning, the distribution of suffixes and their combinations with stems directly influences the semantics of a derivative. Frequently, it is not only a question of Vrancic’s subjective intervention but of the fact that such phenomena are a characteristic feature of the language of older writers, as well as a few younger ones (Kašic;, Mikalja, Vitezovic). The number of Vrancic’s hapax legomena and firstly attested words in that group is a consequence of his efforts to find equivalents to Latin headwords. In a number of examples Vrancic’s solution is modelled on a Latin or Italian equivalent, and rarely on a Hungarian or German one. In the category of compounds, there are many calques, and examples of compounding identical to today’s are also not rare. Endocentricity and exocentricity are transparent only in the diachronic perspective, although Vrancic followed the Croatian model
