Abstract
In Slovenia, the natural syntax of the Klagenfurt brand has been extended to the Slovenian Theory, which studies the behaviour of (near-)synonymous syntactic expressions, here called syntactic variants. The basic assumptions: In a pair of syntactic variants, within each variant, one of the following alternatives obtains: (1) at least one >sym-value tends to associate with at least one additional >sym-value and/or with at least one sem-value; (3) at least one >sem-value tends to associate with at least one additional >sem-value and/or with at least one sym-value. The above alignment rules are illustrated with (morpho)syntactic cases in which a high sym-value associates with another high sym-value, and a low sym-value associates with another low sym-value. Such combinations have so far not received any attention in the Naturalness Theory. The language material is divided into consecutively numbered deductions: (1) English, (2) Bambara, (3) Carib, (4) Danish, (5) German, (6) Greek, (7) Hidatsa, (8) Italian, (9) Latin, (10) Norwegian, (11-12) Sanskrit.
