Abstract
The paper presents the analysis of the expression of movement in French and in Serbian from the perspective of three basic elements, the origin of movement, its term and its path. In both languages the verb plays an important part along with the prepositions in French and the preposition + case in Serbian. The origin in French is expressed by the preposition de, essentially dynamic, while in Serbian it is marked by genitive preceded by prepositions od, iz, s(a). Both languages make distinction if the term is reached or not. The movement toward the final point in French is expressed by the prepositions vers, pour, and in Serbian by dative and prepositions ka, prema. Attained final point in French is marked by the static prepositions à, sur, dans which often express the position of the object after the motion. In Serbian the accusative with the prepositions u, na indicates that the term is reached. The most salient difference between the French and the Serbian is the expression of the path: in French it is expressed by the verb and the preposition à, while in Serbian it is marked on the formal level by the accusative.
