This teaching experience has initiated a particular interest in the students’ linguistic performance when using certain structures that differ from the structures in their mother tongue by their form and function and register. The aforementioned structures were selected because they represent the point of contrast between the two languages since they are either used in different registers (passive), or differ in both form and function (non-finite clauses) or nonexistent in one language and used in almost all registers in the other one (clefts). application/pdfstr. 571-594 314805 bytes Niš : Filozofski fakultet info:eu-repo/semantics/article Janković, Ljiljana M.
