Subordinate final and causal clauses in Slovak dialects

Pavol Žigo

Abstract

The qualitative characteristic of complex sentences with subordinate final and causal clauses in Slovak dialects and preliterate Slovak language presumes a relatively high degree of natural development of the language system. The presented study generalizes theoretical knowledge through which linguistics provides philosophy with a partial answer to its question whether the topological qualities of time have a universal character. Characteristic of complex sentences with subordinate final and causal clauses in Slovak dialects and preliterate Slovak language is based on facts acquired through the analysis of the category of time in simple and complex sentences in preliterate period as well as in standard Slovak. The characteristics of studied qualities on a Slovak language material confirm that orderliness, single-dimensionality, coherence, single-directionality and infinitude are not universal qualities of time.
