Abstract: 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. Some of the topics
where Slovenian data played a prominent role include the feel-like
construction, imperative embedding, closest conjunct agreement
phenomena, double applicatives, etc. In this Introduction, we outline some
of these topics to demonstrate how Slovenian has been brought to bear on
issues in generative syntax, and then briefly introduce individual chapters,
some of which touch on the above-mentioned topics and some of which
address new topics where Slovenian data prove relevant for the study of a
particular linguistic phenomenon, such as relativization, modality, and
clitics.
