Morphology of the Local Dialect of Oslići: inflective parts of speech

Abstract

The paper describes the morphological features of inflective parts of speech in the local dialect of Oslići, which belongs to the Buzet dialect of the Chakavian dialect. The results of the study have shown that noun endings of all three genders depend on the type of stress to which a particular noun belongs. In the adjective-pronoun declension, endings of the palatal bases appear, and the ending also depends on whether it is stressed or not. As for verb forms, an unusual feature is that future II does not exist in the system.
