On new tendencies and phenomena in the Čakavian dialect

Božidar Finka

Abstract

With today's more active communication among speakers of the same dialect and of different dialects, and with the great prestige of communication in the literary language, the Čakavian area shows more of a tendency than ever before to accept genetically non-Čakavian elements. These originate from the Croatian literary language in particular and from other Croatian dialects, on all levels, i. e. lexical, phonetic and accentual, morphological and word-formational, syntactic and stylistic. But even though some non-Čakavian elements are gradually coming into the language, in principle we can still say that the Čakavian dialect is more subject to gradual change than to loss and replacement.
