Konkurentnost besprijedloškog dativa u epskom diskursu
COMPETITIVENESS OF PREPOSITIONLESS DATIVE IN THE EPIC DISCOURSE

Summary/Abstract: The paper stresses an extremely important influence of the dative in generating epic poems that served as a primer in Hörmann's Bosniac epic poetry. The dative is, according to research results, particularly stressed in various categories, particularly thanks to regularity of the poetic formula and to generating metric-versification models based on the epic decasyllable. Thusly, one can note a substitution of commonly used syntactic constructions and models based on the dative rection principle, which becomes a unique economizer of some types of syn-tagms and other constructions, according to decasyllable. However, the paper reaches the conclusion that the specific use of the aforementioned dative does not have to have a significant connection with the epic formula, but it is the matter of complex stylistic and semantic processes. The paper tries to explain the aforementioned models of substitution of other case constructions by the dative as well as point out to principles of such substitution actions.
