Lengthening of the stressed vowels in the northwestern čakavian local idioms
Sanja Zubčić
Sažetak
The paper analyses the changes in the quantity of the stressed vowel in the North Western Čakavian local idioms. Unlike lengthening, shortening of the stressed vowels is very rare and erratic. Three basic types of lengthening can be identified:
1 lengthening in a syllable closed by a sonant;
2 lengthening in a syllable closed by a consonant or a consonant cluster;
3 lengthening in an open syllable.
For each type of lengthening, a list of local idioms in which they have or have not been identified is given, and its scope, intensity and consequences are determined. On the basis of comparison with the corresponding lengthening in the Central and South Eastern Čakavian local idioms, discriminatory value of each type of lengthening for the North Western Čakavian local idioms is identified.
