Summary/Abstract: In contemporary Serbian, besides prototypical complex sentences with a conditional clause, there are several types of complex sentences with a conditional clause which has a primarily commentative function: На отварање изложбе дошло је двадесетак људи, ако их је било и толико (At the exhibition opening, there were some - twenty people, if that many); Уколико добро памтим, багрем је прошле године цве тао ранo (If I remember well, acacias blossomed early last year), etc. The main aim of this paper is to analyse the syntactic structure of complex sentences of this type, to identify their syntactic and semantic subtypes, and to explore and describe their discourse functions.
