RELATIVNE KLAUZE U NOVINSKOJ VESTI I NOVINSKOM IZVEŠTAJU

Abstract

The study aims to determine the role of relative clauses in the informational structure of superordinate clauses in newspaper news and news reports. The analysis has been conducted on concrete linguistic excerpts from Serbian newspapers published throughout Serbia. The approach of the research is qualitative-stylistic, while the primary methods used in the study are functional-stylistic and linguisticstylistic ones. We focus on the types of relative pronouns and antecedents which are common in the texts of newspaper news and news reports. As news reports provide additional information regarding the basic facts, usually in the form of reported speech, some types of relative clauses are found more often in news reports than in newspaper news.
