Abstract

This paper studies the language of the first novel written in the Chakavian dialect, Zvoneća svojni (1999), by Franjo Matetić. It is about the idiom of the village of Zvoneće in the Liburnia area. Language analysis on the phonological and morphological levels shows that this idiom belongs to the Chakavian Ekavian dialect, or to the north-east Istrian sub-dialect, respectively. In its other phonological and morphological characteristics, this idiom retains ancient language features, showing at the same time the strength in creation of the most demanding literal form.
