• Authors: Maxim Makartsev

Under the long-term influence of Albanian, the Shtokavian migrant dialect in Fier and the vicinity (originally the Novi Pazar-Sjenica-Tutin area) has significantly reduced the use of infinitives in verbal complements of modals. Subjunctives have mostly replaced infinitives in these contexts, bringing the dialect closer to Balkan Slavic in structural terms.
