On Count/Mass Distinction in Slovene

Abstract

SLV: Clanek predstavlja modelno-teoretsko raziskavo števnosti v slovenšcini. Obravnava in razlaga slovenske števne ter snovne samostalnike, obenem pa kaže na nepravilnost Chierchove (2004) teoretske napovedi, po kateri noben jezik snovnosti ne oznacuje oblikoslovno. V clanku so predlagane pomenoslovne in skladenjske analize števnosti slovenskega samostalnika. ENG: This paper is a model-theoretic investigation into the count/mass distinction in Slovene. It overviews and accounts for Slovene nouns, while also invalidating Chierchia’s (2004) theoretical prediction that no language marks mass morphologically. I provide analyses of countability in the nominal domain of Slovene on semantic and morphosyntactic levels.
