The expletive-like pronoun to ‘that’ in Serbo-Croatian as a topic-situation correlative pronoun
The paper investigates the expletive-like demonstrative to ‘that, it’ in Serbo-Croatian, which optionally appears in complex sentences containing causal clauses introduced by the subordinators kako and pošto ‘since’. It behaves like an expletive in that it does not affect the (truth-conditional) meaning of the complex sentence in any obvious way. We consider its co-occurrence with two additional optional pronominal items, onda ‘then’ and za-to ‘b…
Secondary imperfectivisation is reverbalisation
We argue that secondary imperfectivisation in Serbo-Croatian (and possibly in Slavic more generally) is a procedure whereby a new verb is derived from a perfective verb, i.e., the perfective verb gets reverbalised. This operation takes a perfective verb, that is, a verbal structure including an aspectual projection that restricts its interpretation aspectually (but also adds some lexical semantic content) and turns it into a bare vP. The new verb…
Standard concessives are inherently focused: Evidence from Serbian
It is a standard view that concessive clauses (concessives) cross-linguistically cannot be used in the scope of focus particles such as only, even, just, unlike the majority of other adverbial clauses (e.g. König 2006; Mizuno 2007). It is usually assumed that this is due to their lesser degree of integration with the main clause compared to other adverbial clauses (König 2006). We argue for an alternative view: standard concessives (concessives m…
Theme-vowel minimal pairs show argument structure alternations
This paper investigates correlations between theme vowels and argument structure in Serbo-Croatian. Specifically, we focus on two different theme vowels, - i - and - ova -, isolating ‘minimal pairs’, that is cases where the same base combines with the two theme vowels to derive different verbs. Starting from two online corpora of Serbo-Croatian, we created a comprehensive list of - i -/- ova - minimal pairs. For all pairs in the list whose both m…
What differentiates Serbo-Croatian verbal theme vowels: Content or markedness
We examine two hypotheses regarding the role of theme vowels (ThVs) in Serbo- Croatian (SC): (i) that the various ThVs attested in SC are markedness-based realizations of the same syntactic feature specification, and (ii) that different ThVs carry different syntactic features. We focus on the two SC ThVs occurring with the highest number of bases: and (the ordered pair specifies the infinitive-stem and the present-tense-stem realization of the Th…
