GIBT ES UND OB-SÄTZE IN DER DEUTSCHEN SPRACHE? UND OB ES SIE GIBT! – CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF UND OB-CLAUSES IN GERMAN AND THEIR EQUIVALENTS IN BOSNIAN

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this work is und ob–clauses which depart from the Standard German clause pattern, with the finite verb form appearing at the end of the clause. This is charateristic for German dependent clauses. However, the und ob-clauses are semantically independent and it is impossible to construe a main clause to embrace them. As the position for the finite verb form in Bosnian is not grammaticalized, it is not possible to speak of the matching clause type in Bosnian. For this reason the meaning of the clause was chosen as the main criterion in the contrastive part of the paper, on the basis of which we can then determine the linguistic means for expressing the content of German und ob-clauses in Bosnian.
