Definitions of Some Basic Transformations in Serbo-Croatian

On the ground of our analysis in a previous paper [7] we have formulated phrase structure rules (1) in which the distribution of main lexical-syntactic categories of SC is explicidy stated. We show how some basic transformations of SC may be formulated on the ground of rules ( 1). With some basic examples we have illustrated the application of these transformations and established their ordering. The formulation of the transformation Subjugation of In finitive is particularly important because it shows that the principle of inverse cycle must be assumed in the transformational syntax of SC. We have further shown that rules ( 1 ) make possible the simple deriva tion of all main tenses of SC. The fact that the formulation of the simple future is effected by independently motivated rules is an importent confir mation of our analysis. Finally, we have shown how lexical transformations are applied in the analysis of the adjective duzan
