Sažetak
This paper aims to investigate the origin, development, and usage of the postpositional
articles in Istro-Romanian, one of the Romanian historical dialects, a likewise dislocated
member of the Balkan sprachbund. First, based on the available literature, the evolution
of the postpositional articles in the Romance languages will be demonstrated, followed
by the evolution of the articles in Romanian and Istro-Romanian, and the languages
of the Balkan sprachbund. Afterwards will follow a corpus-based analysis of the
similarities and dissimilarities regarding the usage of the postpositional articles in
Romanian and Istro-Romanian. It will be based on the parallel texts in Romanian and
Istro-Romanian from the Densusianu’s and Pușcariu’s collections. To distinguish as
accurately as possible the stages of Istro-Romanian articles, Greenberg’s methodology
will be used. That is, his cycle of the grammaticalization of the articles will be applied. It
is expected that the analysis will show that despite many centuries of foreign influence,
the usage of the postpositional articles in Istro-Romanian is congruent to the usage of
the postpositional articles in Romanian and other languages of the Balkan sprachbund.
