Abstract

This paper describes the specific features of the speech of Skokovi (northwestern Bosnia) at the phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexicological level. The speech is Ikavian and Šćakavian with plenty of exceptions. Very prominent are suffixes (endings) that are added to adverbs and even to pronouns. At the end of the paper the reader will find a small dictionary of archaic words in that speech, especially ‘false friends’ between this speech and the speech of the majority of Štokavian dialects.

Keywords

Speech of Skokovi, Štokavian dialect, northwestern Bosnia, phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicology, ‘false pairs’
