УПОТРЕБА СЛОБОДНОГ ГЕНИТИВА У ГОВОРУ БАНАТСКЕ КЛИСУРЕ
THE USE OF THE FREE GENITIVE IN THE VERNACULAR OF BANATSKA KLISURA

Summary/Abstract: Based on the material collected in the villages of Divič, Belobreška and Stara Moldava, this paper analyzes the use of the free genitive in the vernacular of the Banatska Klisura region in Romania. The paper examines registered confirmations of different syntactic and semantic values of the genitive case in the adnominal or adverbial position or, more specifically, those types of the free genitive which are in a competitive relation with another free case form which is not blocked either by a preposition or obligatory determiner. Based on this criterion, the analysis is conducted on the partitive, objective and subjective genitive. Deserving of special attention is the competitive relationship between the genitive case and the other case formalizer of the specific meaning, considering the peripheral position of this Serbian vernacular and the foreign, non-Slavic linguistic environment which in cases like this influences the analytization of the case system.
