Phonological features of Vrbanci village local dialect: a contribution to the study of Draganić Kajkavian dialect
Marina Marinković
Abstract
The paper describes the phonological level of Vrbanci village local dialect on the basis of material collected through author’s own field research. The village of Vrbanci is part of the Municipality of Draganić located near the town of Karlovac. In previous dialect research, Draganić dialects have not been described in more detail, although they are at the very crossroads of two Kajkavian dialects: plješivičko-ozaljski and vukomeričko-pokupski dialect (and two of Ivšić's groups, the first and the third). The analysis of dialectological material showed that the phonology of this dialect differs somewhat from the neighboring dialects of the Ozalj type, but also that there are a number of phonological features that they share: monophthonic vocalism, fricatives ś and ź, afrikates č and ć, preserving the semivowel in a syllable with a short accent etc. On the other hand, jat in both long and short syllables gives a closed /ẹ (unlike with the nearby western dialects with the Ikavian-Ekavian replacement of jat), and the distribution of neoacute is the same as in prodindoltype speeches, with neoacute occurring in both old and new places. Phoneme substitutions (o → u, o → ẹ, ẹ → i; o → a rarely) are especially noticeable in this speech, which largely identifies it with other speeches on the easternmost branch of the Plješivica-Prigorje Kajkavian dialect. Considering the stated common features, this paper positions Vrbanci local dialect more precisely on the map of the southwestern part of the Kajkavian dialect, on the Ozalj – Tuškani – Domagović line.
