Although in the early days of generative linguistics Slovenian was rarely called on in the development of theoretical models, the attention it gets has
subsequently grown, so that by now it has contributed to generative linguistics a fair share of theoretically important data. With 13 chapters that all
build on Slovenian data, this book sets a new milestone. The topics discussed in the volume range from Slovenian clitics, which are called on to shed new
light on the intriguing Person-Case Constraint and to provide part of the evidence for a new generalization relating the presence of the definite article
and Wackernagel clitics, to functional elements such as the future auxiliary and possibility modals, the latter of which are discussed also from the
perspective of language change. Even within the relatively well-researched topics like wh-movement, new findings are presented, both in relation to the
structure of the left periphery and to the syntax of relative clauses.
