Abstract

The article discusses the syntactic complexity of sentences in spoken discourse of contemporary Slovene politicians. The author analysed the syntactic structures of sentences and clauses, and the results were compared to those in the article by Nataša Hribar Vprašanje skladenjske zapletenosti v govorjenem jeziku politikov (The question of syntactic complexity in the spoken discourse of politicians). The article provides the answer to the question whether in terms of syntax Janez Janša 's spoken discourse is complex or simple. The author also tried to establish what type of complexity is most typical of his spoken discourse, which types of dependent and coordinate clauses are most frequent, how many simple and complex sentences were used, how many verbless clauses and their combinations with other clauses occurred, and which relationships were employed in either complex or simple sentences.
