On the contemporary speech of Zadar

Slavica Vrsaljko ; Sveučilište u Zadru

Abstract

The basic assumption in this paper is that the contemporary Zadar speech is a mixture of interdialects of two dialects, i.e. Zadar conversational speech as such, could be the result of the influence of new Štokavian dialect from the hinterland, Čakavian Ikavian dialect of Southern Čakavian idioms from the coastal area, and Croatian standard language. This paper gives a preview of phonologic and morphologic features of both dialects that can be distinguished in everyday informal communication.

Keywords

synchronism; Čakavian dialect; Štokavian dialect; informal communication; contemporary speech; phonologic and morphologic features
