FONOLOŠKI OPIS GOVORA VASI SELCA

Francka Benedik ; ZRC SAZU, Ljubljana

Abstract

The paper presents a phonological description of the local dialect of Selca in the Selca Valley. While it is a Selca-type dialect, it borders on Upper Carniolan, Škofja Loka, Poljane and Podbrdo dialects. Due to its location, it developed into a separate local dialect, although it is basically Upper Carniolan.
A synchronic phonological description, prosody and the origin of individual phonemes are discussed in the paper, using the Common Slovene phonological system as presented by Tine Logar in 'Fonološki opisi' (Sarajevo 1981) as a starting point. Ample exemplification is given throughout the paper. The vowel system is monophthongal. Long stressed vowels are i, closed ẹ, open e, a, open o, closed ọ, and u; short stressed vowels are e, schwa ә, a, and o; unstressed vowels are i, e, schwa ә, a, o, u, and syllabic ļ, m, and ņ. Long i and u are phonetically closer to short vowels. It is very common for some of the original vowels to be elided. The most noticeable feature of the consonantal system is the fact that consonants remain voiced in word-final position.
