  • Description: English as a lingua franca has been studied from various viewpoints and in different contexts. Such analyses include, among other issues, aspects of English language learning and use among non-native speakers in contexts in which English is traditionally taught and used as a foreign language. This paper deals with the investigation of the differences in meaning and use of adjectives in -ic and -ical among Croatian speakers of the English language. The aim is to describe the use of such adjectives and identify the extent to which non-native speakers distinguish between their meanings. The choice of the adjectives and the overview of the differences in meaning among them are based primarily on the monograph published by Mark Kaunisto in 2007 and the online edition of the Oxford dictionary of the English language. The research, which included the administration of a test, was conducted in March and April 2019 among ninety-six Croatian students of English. The results of the research suggest that the differentiation between the meanings of the English adjectives in -ir and -ical depends primarily on the differences in meanings of the analysed adjectives, the frequency of use of a specific adjective in the English language, as well as on the linguistic context in which the adjective is used.
