Abstract
This paper analyses the local dialects of Goljak, Rudinka and Selište, hamlets in
Donji Kosinj, which belong to the Middle-Chakavian dialect. The analyzed local
dialects have not been dialectologically researched so far. Research was conducted
by using a questionnaire, as well as by recording free speech. Examinees are elderly
and they have spent their lifetime in the examined area. As the research has
been carried out, it can be claimed that Goljak, Rudinka and Selište, according to
their phonological and morphological features, belong to the Middle-Chakavian
dialect of the Chakavian dialect. The most important linguistic features of Goljak,
Rudinka and Selište are Ikavian-Ekavian reflex of jat, closing vowels in front of
nasal, šćakavism, the absence of phoneme x and preservation of final l. Among
the morphological features, the most prominent ones are: the zero suffix and the
suffixes -i, -ov/-ev in the genitive plural of feminine and masculine nouns and the
suffixes -du and -u in the formation of the present tense of the third person plural.
