Abstract
This article examines the phonological and morphological characteristics of
the local dialect of Kavran in the context of neighboring Northwestern Ližnjan dialects,
those of Muntić and Valtura, as well as the so-far recorded local dialects of
Marčana: Hreljići, Krnica, Loborika, Marčana, Mutvoran, Orbanići, Peruški, Prodol,
Rakalj, and Šegotići, and the southern sub-group of Barban dialects which
are found in the villages of Manjadvorci, Rebići, Hrboki, Bornići, and Škitača.
It is concluded that the Kavran dialect is equivalent to the dialect of Muntić.
From the dialect of Valtura it is differentiated by the realization of the phonemes
* and *, the consonant groups *stьj, *zdьj, *jьt, *jьd, the infinitive suffix,
which is consistently truncated, as well as the suffixes for the locative and infinitive
case forms of the plural of male and neuter nouns. It differs from all hereto
described Marčana and south Barban sub-group dialects by the suffixes for the
dative, locative, and instrumental case forms of the plural of male, female, and
neuter nouns. From the dialects of Marčana, Krnica, Orbanići, Prodol, and Hreljići,
as well as the southern Barban sub-group of dialects, it differs also in its
system of accents.
