| Description |
Traditional grammars of Serbian claim that this Slavic language has three demonstrative adjectives: ovaj, onaj, taj. Generally, it is stipulated that the first one is linked to the first, the second one to the second and the third one to the third person. In this work we try to defend the hypothesis according to which taj is becoming (just like the deictic adverb tu) a strong definite (note that the weak definite is in Serbian represented by the zero article). Hence, taj can denote the entity which is not situated in the hearer’s space but which is contextually relevant and known to both participants in the conversation. In addition, taj is found in the quantified sentences which can be considered as a case of associative usage:
Svaki put kad igram u crvenoj majci izgubim taj mec. Every time I play in a red T-shirt I lose that match. |
