Avtorica raziskuje raznovrstne oziralne stavke v slovenšcini s posebnim ozirom na strukturo, ki se tradicionalno obravnava kot izjemna glede na to, da je v njej neskladje med številom v naslonskem
zaimku in številom v odnosnici, npr. Najboljši iskalec si, [RC kar smo jih imeli.] Razprava kaže, kako sodobna generativna skladnja lahko reši ta problem, in sicer z dvema možnima rešitvama.The author explores the various types of relative clauses in Slovene, focusing on a construction
that has traditionally been assumed to be a special type of relative clause in which there seems to be a mismatch between the number feature of the clitic pronoun and that of the relative head, e.g., Najboljši iskalec si, [RC kar smo jih imeli.]1 best-Nom.sg.masc. seeker-Nom.sg.masc. BE-2nd.
sg.pres. that BE-1st.pl.pres. 3rd.pl.acc.pron have-L-participle ‘You are the best seeker that we have
had (them).’ The paper illustrates how contemporary generative syntax can handle the problem of this feature mismatch, giving two possible solutions.
