Abstract
The Croatian Kajkavian literary language is characterised by particular syntactic characteristics in complex sentences that are comparable throughout the entire period from the 16th to the 19th century, or which differ between the earliest literary texts and the remaining texts written until the end of the same period. On the basis of the oldest late-16th century Kajkavian literary texts (I. Pergošić, A. Vramec, Listine hrvatske), this paper analyses compound predicate sentences on the basis of the structure and meaning of their conjunctions ar, jer causative sentences. The syntactic characteristics of these types of complex sentences in the oldest Croatian Kajkavian literary language sources are compared with attestations in pre-19th century Kajkavian literary texts.
