Morphology in the Sixteenth-Century Slovene Literary Language

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to survy the findings on morphology in the works of the sixteenth-century Slovene Protestant writers, contained in the studies and articles by Slovene and other researchers published in recent 50 years. The sudies concentrating on morphology and the ones with morphology as a more marginal topic, treated (using various methods) mainly less researched topics (e.g., verbal categories, verbal, nominal, and adjectival paradigmatics, particularly with morphological variants, dual). The study also surveys non-inflectional and indeclinable lexical items attested in Trubar's and Dalmatin's Biblical translations, thus complementing the exsisting knowledge of the inflected parts of speech.
