The Categorization and Clasification of the Slovene Relative Pronouns

Abstract

The paper presents the categorization and classification of Slovene relative pronouns ki and kateri in major Slovene grammars from Bohorič to Toporišič and in the two most significant Sloven dictionaries,ie., Pleteršnikʹs and SSKJ. A critical review of the history of research is accomoanied by an attempt of alinguistic treatment of these pronouns in the light of the theory of prototypes.
