DIFHTONGIZATION AND MONOPHTHONGIZATION IN SLOVENE DIALECTS

Tine Logar

Abstract

The diphtongization of monophthongs and the later monophthongization
of diphthongs are the two most significant developmental
factors of Slovene long vowels. Both occurrences are quite old, the
first dates from the 12th—13th century; the second probably from
the 13th—14th century. Up to the 12th century the system of long
Slovene vowels was of a monophthong type. However when in the
12th—13th century the first Slovene diphthongization came about,
the system changed from that of a monophthong type to that of a
diphthong type.
