The functional load of prosodic patterns in Croatian Kajkavian dialects
Pavle Ivić
Sažetak
The functional load of prosodic phenomena in phonological patterns is described here by mathematical formulas showing N (the number of prosodic possibilities in words) as a function of the number of syllables S. This method was introduced by the author and adopted by other scholars (I. Lehisle, G. Jacobssen, L. Hyman).
In almost all Croatian Kajkavian dialects, when S gets augmented, N increases in an arithmetic progression, in contradistinction to most Štokavian and certain Čakavian dialects, where the progression is geometric.
The far-reaching differences between local Kajkavian dialects as to the number of prosodic possibilities reflect their deep structural diversification. The most complex (and most archaic) pattern has P = 4S, and the most strongly simplified one p = S. Dialects with relatively complex patterns are located in the north and the west of the Kajkavian territory. The dialect of Virje in the northeast is characterized by a peculiar situation. Fancev's material from 1907 suggests the formula N = 2S, thus a geometric progression.
