Research interests

Historical grammar, morphology, word formation, morphology and syntax of adjectives and participles in Croatian Church Slavonic and Old Church Slavonic

Inflexional morphology of adjectives and participles

The research aims at describing declension of adjective (positive and comparative) and participle; namely: long and short forms, development from former simple and complex declension towards nominal declension and adjectival/pronominal declension, influence of the pronominal declension on adjective declension, hard and soft stems and their sporadical neutralization, influence of the vernacular, case syncretism, sound change in particular case forms

Derivational morphology of adjectives

The aim is to describe patterns of adjective formation (affixation, composition, combination of the latter two, participle adjectivization, root adjectives, underived adjectives) and patterns of comparison (formation of comparative and superlative adjective form, synthetic and analytic comparison, absolute comparative and superlative).

Syntax of adjectives

The research will focus on describing syntactic functions of adjective, its position in a phrase (word order tendencies), and the use of long and short forms of descriptive adjective for expressing the category of definiteness.

Syntax of participles

This part of research aims to describe syntactic functions of participle forms, appearing as an attribute on one side, and as a verb complement as well as a part of absolute constructions on the other side. These forms will be observed more closely in order to describe their relation to adjectives and participles in Croatian.
