Abstract

The paper thoroughly deals with the historical development of the accentual paradigms of the ā-stems (i.e. declension type žena, žene) in Croatian starting with Proto-Slavic and ending with modern Štokavian, Čakavian and Kajkavian dialects. The development is explained for each accentual paradigm (a, b and c) respectively. Apart from the description of the development of the accentual paradigms, a list of the basic inherited words with their individual accentual paradigms is provided. Additionally, the accentuation of the old y-stems is discussed.
