Josip Krajač

Abstract

The speech of Bosiljevo has characteristics of cakavian and kajkavian dialect. Phonological system is characterized by: ikavian - ekavian reflex of the yat; the presence of diphtongs and semi-diphtongs (ie, ug). Two-accent system of falling intonation (long-falling and short-falling); instability of accent shifting. Morphological system is characterized by: diversity of endings in noun declension (G LI plural); absence of aorist, the imperfect tense and past participle. Infinitive has shorter and longer form; comparation of adjectives requires a variety of accent shifting; personal pronouns have special forms for the third person singular and the third person plural. Particularity of sound changes is visible in compound adverbs and prepositions.
