The class of series-forming indefinite pronouns in Croatian is, like in other Slavonic languages, affected by ongoing grammaticalisation processes. In addition to the indefinite pronouns recorded in grammar manuals and in studies on indefiniteness, it can be extended to include a number of elements whose degree of grammaticalisation varies considerably. Based on corpus material from the hrWaC (Croatian web corpus) and HNK (Croatian National Corpus), we were able to provide the most complete list of Croatian indefinite markers yet compiled, and to analyse the lexical sources of their grammaticalisation. Furthermore, we propose an approach for calculating the degree of grammaticalisation of indefinite pronouns. For this purpose, fifteen specific sub-criteria were developed on the basis of Lehmann’s theory of grammaticalisation, and a mixed method combining both quantitative and qualitative analysis of corpus material was used to evaluate the degree of grammaticalisation according to these sub-criteria.
