@ARTICLE{Марковиќ_Марјан_Formal_2013, author={Марковиќ, Марјан}, number={No LXII}, journal={Rocznik Slawistyczny}, pages={77-91}, howpublished={online}, year={2013}, publisher={Komitet Słowianoznawstwa PAN}, abstract={In this text I try to present formal and functional picture of the preposition ‘vo’ in the Macedonian dialects. Also, I show the geographic distribution of the preposition ‘u’ (with the meaning at, beside). This helps to see how the prepositions ‘vo’ and ‘u’ are spread over the Macedonian dialectal territory, and also to see their formal and functional distribution. The prepositions ‘vo’ and ‘u’ are among the differential features that divide the western dialectal complex from southeastern dialectal complex. The two maps show that borders of their territories mainly correspond with the dialectal borders of two dialectal complexes. Regarding their functional fields – in the frames of the spatial relations (static vs. dynamic) both forms cover same fields. Thus, regarding static relation, both ‘vo’ (western complex) and ‘u’ (southeastern and northern complex) are used as markers of the position of the localized object regarding the localizer, i.e. the situations where a localized object takes part of the space determined by the localizer. Regarding the dynamic relation, we can see the same results, i.e. both ‘vo’ and ‘u’ are used as markers of the adlative relation (goal) which is the approximation of the localized object to the inside or inside borders of the localizer.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Formal and functional analysis of the preposition vo in Macedonian dialects}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/82543/PDF/04.pdf}, }
