Апсолутни датив и зависна реченица у "Житију архиепископа Данила II"
Dative Absolute and Subordinate Clause in the "Vita of Archbishop Danillo II"

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the syntactic and semantic features of the dative absolute (DA) in the text Vita of archbishop Danillo II. Special attention is paid to the competitive relation to the subordinate clause (especially temporal), a device existing both in a literary language and in a vernacular. In this text the construction of DA is confirmed in adverbial and adnominal function, as a verb complement, and also in the function of an independent sentence which represents the biggest deviation from the canon. The percentage of DA examples in co-referеntial construction does not deviate much from the number of examples in other Serbian Church Slavonic documents. Regarding the nominal component, no significant deviation from the OCS model is noticed, nor in the use of DA in combination with the conjunctions. The subordinate clause is formed according to the OCS model and predominates in every semantic field except in the field of temporal determination, where the number of examples of both means is approximately the same (DA is recorded in two example more). Speaking from the stylistic aspect, it can be said that the text is written in the Serbain Church Slavonic of the higher functional style.
