This paper discusses the determinative function of the accusative with the preposition 'za' (for) in the Old Serbian language (12th-15th centuries). Due to its primarily spatial meaning of the post-location adlativity, confirmed in all Slavic languages, this case construction could be connected to the adverbial determination of the temporal, causal, final, conditional, concessive and qualification type, as well as to adnominal determination of the specification type. All these meanings are the reflection of the post-location adlativity, that is, direction determined by the back side of the object in focus.
