The idiom of Mrkopalj

Iva Lukežić ; Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Rijeci

Abstract

The paper was inspired by the fact that the idiom of Mrkopalj is identified
as an idiom of the Ikavian-Štokavian dialect, despite the fact that all the
studies on the idiom so far show a great number of Čakavian or common Čakavian-
Štokavian linguistic features.
Using dialectological apparatus 34 phonological, phonetic, morphonological
and morphological categories, and 273 lexical units are interpreted. Examples
are taken from total data on the idiom of Mrkopalj collected throughout
the twentieth and at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Analysis and interpretation of the data based on the diversity theory lead
to conclusion that there are two systems coexisting within the idiom of Mrkopalj,
the Štokavian and the Čakavian, which should be taken into consideration
when classifying this idiom dialectologically.
