Serbo-Croatian Datives

[Katerina Krivinkova]

I would be grateful for any information on the Serbo-Croatian possessive
dative, e.g.:

A:      -Otac mi je doktor.
B:      -A meni je profesor.

as opposed to:

A:      -Moj otac je doktor.
B:      -A moj je profesor.

Are both possible? Which is more natural? When would you use which?

If you had just:

A: Otac je doktor.

then what would the most natural retort be
1) A meni je profesor.  OR
2) A moj je profesor.

Also, in the dative sentences, where does the dative belong syntactically?

Thanks! I'll post a summary of replies.
