SYNTAKTICKÉ VÝSKUMY V ČASOPISE SLOVENSKÁ REČ

The study describes the works that have been published in Slovenská reč since the 1930s until now. It closely characterizes the tendencies of the development in Slovak syntax and heterogeneous syntactic issues presented in the works throughout all decades during the ninety years of the existence of the journal. The study is divided into several thematic sections. The first part deals with linguistic papers investigating various topics connected with sentence elements and syntagmas. Due to the long-term tradition of valency research in the Slovak context, special attention is paid to valency research in Slovak linguistic works. The linguistic phenomena of a two-fold nature – both syntactic and morphological, lexical and orthographic – are closely described in a separate section. The following part focuses on works that analyse compound and complex sentences and questions related to the functioning of non-finite clauses. Finally, the papers dealing with textual syntax phenomena including marked syntactic constructions close the study. The summary brings a recapitulation of the findings and highlights the most prominent figures and the most crucial issues of the syntactic research. At the same time, it points to the challenges that have to be taken on by the linguistic community in the future.
