Fugitive (semi-vowel) a in Croatian language nouns

Josip Silić ; Department of Croatian language and literature, Faculty of humanities and social sciences at the University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

In the paper the author approaches this essentially historical-linguistic problem primarily using methods of synchronic linguistics. The study of linguistic specific conditions is a prerequisite for the study of linguistic changes in the flow of time. Based on the corpus of many noun examples, the author explicates the phonological environment of each particular noun which in a nominative case contains a fugitive (semi-vowel) a, and according to that, as well as according to their forms in genitive singular and plural, classifies them into groups.
