The relative pronoun kojto in administrative documents from 1888/1889

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the uses of the relative pronoun kojto in postpositive relative clauses in documents (1112 pp.) describing the traditional costumes in Bulgaria ten years after the liberation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman rule, in 1888/1889. They were written by administrators working in bigger and lesser administrative units and sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In these documents, postpositive relative clauses with kojto as a marker of the literary language and administrative register are very frequent. All the other means introducing relative clauses in the oral syntax were eliminated even in the texts composed by clerks working in villages. Apparently, kojto clauses were well established in the literary language, especially in the administrative register in contrast to fiction literature that uses general relatives typical of the oral syntax.
