Posvojni oblici u norveškom jeziku i teorija strukturnog genitiva
Possessive Forms in Norwegian and the Theory of Structural Genitive

Summary/Abstract: Norwegian shows a great number of different possessive forms, both prenominal and postnominal. This paper presents an analysis of these possessive constructions according to Longobardi's Case Theory (Longobardi 1995). The basic principle of Longobardi's theory such as CCP (Case Checking Principle) has been applied to Norwegian. It has been proposed to extend the theory by an aditional lower Agr, which appears to be well motivated by Norwegian data. It seems that such an analysis fails to solve some problems f. e. the question of possessive pronouns agreement in Norwegian.
