Co-ordination and subordination in the Croatian literary language

Ivo Pranjković ; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb

Abstract

This paper is based on the assumption (which the author intends to examine from many sides) that the essential difference between co-ordinate and subordinate clauses is not one of a semantic but rather of a structural nature. The author attempts to determine the criteria for delimitation and to analyse the syntactically relevant means used to bring about the aforementioned difference. Some of the most frequent objections posed to question the relevance and the validity of the distinction co-ordination vs. subordination are also commented upon. In connection with this, special attention is paid to syntactic juxtaposition and the alleged synonymity of the independent and dependent clauses.
