Abstract

The article discusses the Čakavian and Kajkavian elements in the
accentuation of the lower Sutla dialect (“donjosutlanski”, a kajkavianized Čakavian dialect) on the example of the dialect of Drinje. The most important Čakavian feature is the complete lack of the neo-circumflex accent in morphology (krȁvom, o brȁtu, o smȑti, pl. mȉsta, slȁbi, čȕjem, pobȅgoṷ, čȉstila, namȁzan), and elsewhere (gȁvran, kȍža, vȉšnja etc.). Neo-circumflex is found only in isolated words and derivatives, such as oprȃva, vȏļa, svȃdba, žȃbji etc. In one way or another, the following examples are to be attributed to the influence of Kajkavian: pĩla, javĩla, supine pȋt, v grãdu, zelẽni, sẽla, s kõnji, vjȗtro etc.
