The aim of this paper is to provide an explanation of the emergence of dom in peripheral Macedonian dialects through a reevaluation of the contact hypothesis. The southern and south-western dialects in the contact zones with Greek and Aromanian use a dative-based pattern to mark specific, predominantly human and animate referents. However, the contact hypothesis cannot fully explain the origin of dom in the southernmost dialects because it overlooks the wider interlingual context within which this change occurred. Relying on the analysis of the examples from the oldest sources with dom, the author argues in favor of a multifactorial explanation of its origin: contact obscured the case marking functions of clitics and provided an analytic direct object pattern. The introduction of na-marking on direct objects satisfied both the semantic and pragmatic requirements of a successful message by discriminating between the syntactic functions and discourse prominence of the object participant.

本文的目的是通过重新评估接触假说，来解释外围马其顿方言中dom的出现。与希腊语和阿鲁曼语接触的南部和西南方言使用基于求导的模式来标记特定的，主要是人类和有生命的对象。但是，接触假说不能完全解释最南端方言中dom的起源，因为它忽略了发生这种变化的更广泛的语际环境。依靠对来自dom的最古老来源的示例的分析，作者主张对其来源进行多因素解释：接触模糊了气候的案例标记功能，并提供了一种分析性的直接对象模式。通过在对象的句法功能和话语突出之间进行区分，在直接对象上引入na标记可以满足成功消息的语义和语用要求。
