This paper isolates the syntactic and semantic models of the temporal genitive with the meaning of temporal identification – temporal localization (simultaneity and successiveness) and temporal quantification, specifically temporal quantification in the narrow sense (longitudinality, terminativeness and ingressiveness) and temporal frequency (regularity). It further isolates typical temporal meanings expressed by the genitive: direct temporal localization without awareness of the passing of time, with the presence of processuality markers (-): usred/ početkom/ u koncu/ koncem + genitive; direct temporal localization with awareness of the passing of time, with the presence of processuality markers (+): preko/ za vrijeme + genitive; direct temporal localization unmarked in terms of awareness of the passing of time, with the presence of processuality markers (+/-): kod + genitive; direct temporal localization with actualization markers: ovaj, neki, jedan, isti, prošli, prvi, drugi + genitive; indefinite indirect temporal localization with linear circumlativity markers: oko + genitive; definite direct temporal localization – temporal anteriority; prije/ uoči/ ispred + genitive and temporal posteriority: poslije/ iza + genitive. The meaning of temporal quantification in the narrow sense is expressed as longitudinality: čitav/ cijeli + genitive, ingressiveness: od + genitive and terminativeness: do + genitive, while the temporal frequency was confirmed in the meaning of regularity: svaki + genitive. The corpus was collected in field research of the speech of the Slatina region in the north-west of the Republic of Srpska. The analysis compared the recorded aspects of temporal relations expressed with the genitive to the state in similar speeches of the Herzegovina-Krajina dialect.
