Sažetak
This article describes the prosodic features of the local Čakavian dialect of Novigrad near Zadar. Because of the dialect’s centuries-long exposure to the adjacent Neo-Štokavian dialects, many of its original Čakavian features have been compromised and replaced by the Štokavian ones. Nevertheless, the original Čakavian accentuation as well as the prosodic features of the Novigrad dialect have been extremely well preserved. The analysis and the contextualization of the prosodic system of the Novigrad dialect are based on the data obtained by recent field research. The description of the prosodic system is followed by the analysis of certain prosodic features (lengthening before sonants, preservation of the neoacute, post-tonic lengths, etc.), with an emphasis placed on the archaic nature of the prosodic system of Novigrad when compared to the prosodic systems of the adjacent Čakavian dialects. This archaic character of the dialect is chiefly manifested in the preservation and distribution of post-tonic lengths.
