The Accentuation of i-Presentia in the Local Dialect of Medulin

Osnovni je cilj članka analiza naglaska glagolâ s i-prezentom u mjesnom govoru Medulina (kod Pule) na sinkronijskoj i dijakronijskoj razini. Materijal je dobiven u razgovoru s izvornom govornicom te iz Rječnika medulinskoga govora (v. popis literature). Glagoli se razvrstavaju prema naglasnim paradigmama (A, B ili C) i drugim obilježjima, poput dužine samoglasnika u osnovi, formanta u oblicima infinitivne osnove (-i- ili -ě-) i dr. Usporedbom suvremenoga stanja s praslavenskim utvrđeno je da se razvoj naglaska toga glagolskoga tipa u medulinskom govoru uvelike podudara s onim u većini čakavskih i štokavskih govora.The main aim of this paper is to analyse the accentuation of i-presentia in the local dialect of Medulin (near Pula, Croatia) both synchronically and diachronically. The material has been obtained by interview with a native speaker as well as from the dictionary Rječnik medulinskoga govora (see bibliography). The verbs have been classified according to their accentual paradigm (A, B or C) and other features, such as length of the stem vowel, the infinitive stem formative (-i- or -ě-) et al. The comparison of the present-day and the putative Common Slavic situations has demonstrated that the development of the accentuation of this verb type in the Medulin dialect corresponds greatly to the one observed in the majority of Čakavian and Štokavian dialects
