Transitive constructions in Slovenian Sign Language (SZJ): Report on II year of Research Doctorate in Linguistics
No full textThis article provides a theoretical background and theoretical framework as well as preliminary generalisations of the generative description of three syntactic environments in Slovenian Sign Language (SZJ). It determines relations between subject, object(s) and verb in transitive, ditransitive and classifer constructions. After exploring binding, scope and nominalisation effects, thematic (deep) structure is elaborated for each construction in accordance to Binarity Principle. Then, grammatical derivations of attested word orders (surface structure or linearisation) are developed with respect to word order parameters (Head parameter) and syntactic processes (successive-cyclic Head movement). Finally, SZJ as a new entry in the typological inventory of world's languages is presented with respect to current issues of word order research
Are the Impersonals in Slovene Existentials?
No full textIn many languages there exist certain syntactic structures that have traditionally been assumed impersonal due to the lack of the audible 'human' subject, as illustrated in for Slovenian language in this presentation
Licenser under cover: The Genitive of Negation in Slovenian
No full textIn some languages there exist syntactic environments in which noun phrases of negated sentences do not take nominative or accusative case as their counterparts from the parallel affirmative sentences do. Instead, they are inflected for the genitive, usually called the genitive of negation. The article (i) reconsiders the list of these environments; (ii) describes an observation whereby the genitive of negation on the subject cancels the subject-verb agreement, triggering the default morphosyntactic form of the (auxiliary) verb; (iii) compares the distribution of the genitive of negation to the distribution of the negative-numeral nič “nothing”; and (iv) argues for the hypothesis that the genitive of negation is licensed by the covert version of the n-numeral nič “nothing”

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
