Abstract
On the basis of the oldest Kajkavian literary texts originating from the late
sixteenth century (Ivan Pergošić, Antun Vramec, vernacular charters published
in Acta Croatica), the paper analyzes complex sentences on the basis of the
distribution and structure of the conjunction da ako. The syntactic characteristics
of this type of complex sentence in the oldest Croatian Kajkavian literary language
sources are compared with attestations from later Kajkavian literary texts.
The Croatian Kajkavian literary language is characterized by certain syntactic
features in complex sentences that are comparable throughout the period, from
the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, while there are some features that are only
found in the oldest literary texts.
Keywords
Croatian Kajkavian literary language; sixteenth-century literary texts; complex sentences; conditional sentences; conjunction da ako
