QUANTITATIVE ADVERBIAL COMPLEMENTATION IN THE BOSNIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

Some verbs in the Bosnian language cannot be used in a sentence without referring to the given circumstance the verb itself denotes (an action, state, event). If the circumstance isn’t given, the sentence is ungrammatical. This means that the valency of certain verbs requires an adverbial complementation. The adverbials which are required for the sentence being grammatical are called adverbial complements. This paper shows some facts on quantitative adverbial complementation and displays instances of its usage.
