Abstract
As a member of the Uljanik Shipyard Literary Club, Vladimiro (Miro) Gagliardi appeared on the Istrian Čakavian literary scene in 1996. A year later, he published a long narrative story, Peruškanka, inspired by the harsh life of women in Istria. Peruškanka was written in the Roverija Čakavian dialect, i.e. the idiom of the village of Štokovci (or Stakovci as it is called by its inhabitants). It thus represents an abundant source of material for linguistic, onomastic, phraseological and paremiological analyses of this local dialect. The paper analyses the phonological and morphological levels of the language used in the narrative story, which confirms that the Štokovci idiom belongs to the southwestern Istrian dialect group. The linguistic characteristics of the narrative and the accentual system have also been confirmed in an interview with the author. Expectedly, we have noted that the Croatian standard language has influenced the language of the narrative.
