ГЛАГОЛСКИ ПРИЛОГ САДАШЊИ КАО ГЛАГОЛ И КАО ПРИДЕВ У ТРАВНИЧКОЈ ХРОНИЦИ ИВЕ АНДРИЋА
Present Participle as Verbs and Adjectives in Ivo Andric’s Bosnian Chronicle

Summary/Abstract: This paper will attempt to analyze the usage of present participles in the novel Bosnian Chronicle (Serb. Travnik Chronicle). More specifically, the aim of this research is to morphologically analyze the use of present participles (e.g. jureći, zaboravljajući, okrećući, pucajući, krijući, smejući se, spavajući, odmahujući, uznemirujući, izgovarajući, mičući, stežući etc.) regarding their function as verbs, and less frequently, as adjectives, as well as their word formation patterns. Andrić often employs the present participle to express simultaneous actions in his novels, which explains the great number of examples excerpted from the corpus. Most of the excerpted present participles represent standard forms, the exceptions being a few non-standard ones (e.g. razumevajući, premerajući, sabirući) and a few stylistically marked, unusual forms that are rarely found elsewhere. We also came across 14 present participles functioning as adjectives, all of which are explicitly listed as such in Rečnik srpskohrvatskoga književnog jezika (Eng. The Dictionary of the Standard Serbo-Croatian language). We can, therefore, conclude that no new or previously unrecorded forms of adjectivalization have been detected.
