Subject(s): Baltic Languages
Published by: Lietuvių Kalbos Institutas

Summary/Abstract: The conjunction jog connects reason clauses frequently used in old Lithuanian writings as well as in present-day publicist, belles-lettres and free style Lithuanian; however, new descriptive, standardising and pedagogical grammars fail to mention them. The paper deals with older and modern usage of the above clauses, offers an overview of their research and development of codification. The paper suggests that the above clauses should be treated as appropriate for standard Lithuanian; arguments for the claim are provided.
