LEXICOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE GRAMMAR OF THE BORDER OF PREDRAG PIPER

Summary/Abstract: Considering the linguistic means for expressing the concept of a border in the Serbian language, Professor Predrag Piper listed several typical nouns that represent lexical means in that categorial-semantic complex. This paper investigates other nouns that serve this function in the Serbian language. The starting point is the assumption that the role of a boundary is probably performed by those nouns in the Serbian language that are more often than others used with prepositions, that is to say, preceded by a preposition in most cases. A list of all such nouns was made using the electronic corpus SrpKor, followed by excerpting only the nouns suggesting some type of a borderline which are most often used directly after the following prepositions: do, od, iz, na, oko, pred, u. Subsequently, a further selection was made based on semantic and pragmatic criteria, and thus the final list of delimiting nouns described in this paper was obtained.
