DETERMINER AS AN INDICATION OF RESTRICHVENESS/UNRESTRICTIVENESS OF THE RELATIVE CLAUSES IN CROATIAN

The paper deals with nominal phrase ,(NP) which contains relative clause (RC). A typical RC takes the attributive function inside the NP. Apart from the attribute, NP always contains a unit functioning as a substantive and can contain a unit functioning as a determiner. All members of the NP can be put into these three functional classes (determiner, attribute, substantive) according to their function. The unmarked position of those elements in the NP is: Det - Sub - At=RC. As the attribute modifies the substantive restrictively or unrestrictively, the RC can be restrictive or unrestrictive. Although the restrictiveness/unrestric- tiveness of the RC depends on many factors (and is a result of their mutual relation), among which pragmatic factors play an important role, some (formal) constituents of the NP can be taken as an indication for restrictiveness/unrestric- tiveness of the RC. On the basis of corpus gathered from newspapers, literature, administrative texts and scientific texts, the present paper points out a connection between some unit functioning as a determiner and restrictiveness vs. unrestric- tiveness of the RC. Thus, if demonstrative pronouns onaj, takav, onakav are determiners, RC will be restrictive. It is the same case if definite pronouns svi or svaki are determiners. On the other hand, RC will be unrestrictive if demonstrative pronouns ovaj, taj are determiners; if any possessive pronoun is determiner; if indefinite pronoun neki or number (indefinite article) jedan are determiners. In the above cases the restrictiveness/unrestrictiveness of the RC is predictable from the determiner

ONE TYPE OF CLAUSES IN JANKO POLIĆ KAMOV\u27S NOVELS

Janko Polić Kamov svojom je osebujnom individualnošću, koja se direktno odrazila u sadržaju njegovih književnih radova, svakako specifična pojava u hrvatskoj književnosti. Tomu je bitno pridonio i Kamovljev stil pisanja koji obilježavaju i neke sintaktičke osobitosti. U ovom ćemo radu promotriti kako Kamov koristi mogućnosti variranja unutar jednog frekventnog tipa zavisnih rečenica, opisati njihova svojstva te usporediti kako ih upotrebljavaju drugi Kamovljevi suvremenici.The author describes relative clauses in Janko Polić Kamov\u27s novels. The most frequent type of relative clauses and extraposed relative clauses, free relative clauses, diferent relativizers (pronouns, conjunctions and adverbs) are analysed in the paper. The results are compared to the usage of the relative clauses in texts by other writers and in nonliterary (administrative, legal, scientific and journalistic) text
