The Glogovnica-Bilogora Dialect

U radu se daje kratki prikaz glavnih fonoloških i morfoloških značajki glogovničko-bilogorskoga dijalekta križevačko-podravskoga podnarječja kajkavskoga narječja.The Glogovnica-Bilogora dialect is located in the Glogovnica river basin, east of Mount Kalnik, the Križevci area to Vrbovec, then Bilogora – in the south to Cirkvena and east to Reka and Mosti, including also two enclaves in Moslavina and a third enclave in Podravina. The Glogovnica-Bilogora dialect borders on the Upper Lonian dialect to the west, the Podravina dialect to the east, and marginally also the Varaždin-Ludbreg dialect to the north. To the north, south, and southeast is the Štokavian area (the Koprivnica-Ludbreg-Križevci enclave and the Bjelovar area). The dialect developed from the initial state of the Križevci-Bilogora dialect subgroup. Because it was surrounded and broken up by Neoštokavian dialects, there is considerable interference. The dialect exhibits all three typical Kajkavian features: OKA, the assimilations ə = ě and ǫ = . It is distinguished from other dialects by the equation (ǫ = ) = u. The accentual system is marked by the cross metatony of the basic Kajkavian long accents as well as by the cross metataxis of the short accent. Considering the progressive metataxis of the ictus, the dialect can be divided into three subdialects. Some local Kajkavian dialects on Bilogora developed in contact with the local Štokavian dialects. As the Štokavian adstratum is generally identical in features to the standard language, it is sometimes difficult to say whence the Štokavian features were imported
