Abstract
On the basis of field research conducted from2003 to 2007 and the relevant literature, the paper presents the distribution and origin of short accent as well as accent changes related to short accent in the South Moslavina Kajkavian vernaculars of Kutinsko selo, Osekovo and Okešinec.The author discusses some interesting facts about the regressive shift of short accent from the ultimate and penultimate syllable , a recent short syllable lenghtening with the shift of accent and the lenghtening in a closed syllable before a group of two consonants if the firstisasonant. Using a comparative method, differences were found between the three vernaculars in the frequency of the regressive shift of the short accented syllable and the lenghtening of the short accented syllable with a shift of stress. The regressive shift of short accent from the penultimate to the previous short syllable has most consistently occurred in KS vernacular. In OS vernacular, the short syllable with shifted accent lenghtened as an acute accent and in IK vernacular, particular words have two forms, one with acute and the other with short accent, while in KS vernacular, a short syllable with shifted accent remained short.The other fore-mentioned prosodic changes have occurred in all the three vernaculars.
