Abstract
This paper discusses two types of Štokavian-Kaikavian correlations: a) natural linguistic, dialectal development in time and space, b) secondary contact of closely related idioms. The first type implies the old Štokavian-Kaikavian isoglosses found in Slavonia and Štokavian-Kaikavian-Čakavian tri-border region, and territorial distribution of particular idioms and their boundaries. The secondary contact encompasses, among others, borderline contact in the case of the Hrvatsko Selo idiom and areal contact in the case of the Čazma idiom. Both cases display a contact between Kaikavian and Neo-Štokavian idioms. Mutual influences are presented.
