Abstract:This thesis investigates the use and the interpretation of three alleged definite articles in Macedonian from a formal perspective. It is concerned with the following questions: (i) does Macedonian indeed have a definite article? (ii) are all three articles in Macedonian definite articles or demonstratives? (iii) what are the formal features that distinguish among these items and how are they licensed in different semantic contexts? The thesis provides evidence that Macedonian has only one definite article – the t-root one – as it presupposes uniqueness and does not have a deictic feature. The other two items – the v- and n-root articles – are at the intersection of a definite article and a demonstrative: they have a deictic feature but do not presuppose uniqueness or non-uniqueness. In addition, it is demonstrated that Macedonian has a set of three demonstratives that have a deictic feature and presuppose non-uniqueness.

Title:Empirična Opažanja o Interpretaciji Makedonskih Členov
Abstract:Magistrsko delo se osredotoča na raziskavo rabe in interpretacije treh domnevnih določnih členov v makedonščini z vidika formalne slovnice. Zastavlja si naslednja raziskovalna vprašanja: (i) Ali makedonščina res ima določni člen? (ii) So vsi trije členi v makedonščini določni ali so kazalna obrazila? (iii) Katere so formalne lastnosti, ki te elemente razlikujejo med seboj, in kako so formalno uveljavljene v različnih semantičnih kontekstih? Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da ima makedonščina samo en določni člen – t-korenski –, saj predpostavlja edinstvenost in nima deiktične lastnosti. Druga dva elementa – v- in n-korenski člen – sta na presečišču med določnim členom in kazalnim obrazilom: imata deiktično lastnost, vendar ne predpostavljata enistvenosti ali needinstvenosti. Poleg tega pokažemo, da ima makedonščina nabor treh kazalnih obrazil, ki imajo deiktično lastnost in predpostavljajo needinstvenost.
