Abstract

The Slovene relativisation markers ki and kateri, which contribute to the very individual nature of Contemporary Standard Slovene among the Slavonic languages, constitute a prime example for the complex processes underlying diachronic syntactic change. Their formal and functional development as evinced in historical data and analysed in linguistic descriptions shows a multitude of factors that interact not only on the linguistic, but also on the descriptive level. The specific situation in contemporary Slovene thus results from a development that has taken place at the interface of language and linguistics, being affected by both language use and language description.
