Restrictive Relative Clauses in Slovene and its Spoken Varieties

Abstract

The aim of the thesis is to explore and present the properties of Slovene restrictive relative constructions. I look into the standard language as well as into dialectal varieties to identify the different possible ways to form relatives, provide an analysis of the data obtained, and find the locus of existing variation. This hopes to contribute to the efforts of documenting and understanding syntactic variation, as well as bring Slovene relative constructions into the light of generative endeavour.
