Abstract

Natural Syntax is a developing deductive theory, a branch of Naturalness Theory. The naturalness judgements are couched in naturalness scales, which follow from the basic parameters (or "axioms") listed at the beginning of the paper. The predictions of the theory are calculated in the deductions, whose chief components are a pair of naturalness scales and the rules governing the alignment of corresponding naturalness values. In this spirit the syntax of the subject complement is discussed, notably some of its features that are mostly not typically Slovenian. The subject complements are divided into descriptive and identifying ones.
