Apr 18, 2016 · Since Macedonian is non-configurational at the level of the clause as well as within many subclausal phrasal structures, one could also put the oblique phrase in front of the possessed, getting "на Мартин куќата", especially if the possessor needs to be emphasised (these pragmatic considerations are really quite complicated and ...
