On the Morphology of the Southern Labin Dialects

Ivana Nežić ; Filozofski fakultet, Rijeka

Abstract

The Southern Labin dialects are a subset of the Labin group of dialects, itself a part of the Central Istrian subdialect of the Čakavian Ekavian dialect. This paper provides an overview of the core characteristics of the morphological system of this subgroup of dialects, which comprises eighteen local dialects in total. Data was collected in field research, and the description of the morphology includes an analysis of the open classes of words: the declension of nouns, adjectives, pronouns and numerals, and the conjugation of verbs. In addition to demonstrating the formation of certain types of open classes of words, the paper also considers the morphonological alternations in those word classes where they have been noted.
