Abstract

On the basis of data collected during field research in October 2015, this article
gives a description of basic characteristics of the local variety of Petrovina
and Domagović, primarily focusing on phonological features (vowel and consonant
systems and prosody) while morphological, syntactic, and lexical ones are
broadly described. The analysis shows that they are typical varieties of the dialect
of Prigorje, although demonstrating certain differences. The vowel systems
of both local varieties have undergone considerable changes which are evident as
phonological neutralizations, i.e. substitutions of phonemes. In Domagović, five
types of substitution are functional (o → u; o → a; o → ẹ; o → i and ẹ → i), in
comparison to three types in Petrovina (o → ẹ; o → i i ẹ → i), out of which two
show some inconsistencies in realization. In both varieties the realization of jat
is regularly ẹ in stressed syllables, while in non-stressed position it has become i,
after the neutralization of the opposition compact vs. diffuse ẹ ~ i. The realization
of jer as a is mostly consistent. As far as the consonant inventory is concerned,
Proto-Slavic *dj has become j and Proto-Slavic *stj, *zdj are reflected as ś, ź. The
accentual system of both varieties consists of ̏, ̑ and ͂, and the so-called „inert
accent“ appears rather frequently as an allotone of the accent ̏. Minor differences
between the two varieties are evident in lexis, for example kȉša (P) ~ gdina
(D); jstrp (P) ~ škńac (D).
