Abstract

The text gives the inventory, distribution, and the origin of the vowel and consonant system of the local speech of Lisac. Phonological system of this local speech is compared to certain Slovenian idiomatic expressions (most often to South Tranian dialect) as well as to certain systems of the Croatian language (mostly kajkavian - Gorski kotar type and gornjomiran dialect of Chakavian vernacular), in order to establish the role of Chakavian specifications in this local speech. Morphological criterion is also taken into account - that is - a specific verbal form for conditional mood - for its exquisite merit in determining whether certain local speech belongs to a Chakavian dialect or not. It can be concluded that the local speech of Lisac is characterised by features common to all types of speech in Gorski kotar, Istria and South part of Slovenia, and thus, according to this research, to local speech of the hinterland of Rijeka close to Slovenian - Croatian border.
