Phonological Description of the Local Speech of Sv. Ana near Kremberk in the Slovenske gorice

Abstract

The article brings a phonological description of the local speech of Sv. Ana near Kremberk in the Slovenske gorice. It is spoken in the westernmost area of the Slovenske gorice sub-dialect. In Ramovš š SLA grid the speech of Sv. Ana carried the number 295 (Benedik 1999: 109), but after the grid had been rearranged it was left out and the speech of the nearby hamlet Kremberk was included under the number 365 (Benedik 1999:113; Koletnik 1996:165-178). In Sv. Ana there was a historical border between Carinthia and Pannonia Inferior (Kovačič 1928: 27-28; Murko 1962: 343), the church of St. Ann was on the border between the ancient Jarenina and Radgona parishes (Kovačič 1928: 64), and today the line starting in Zgornja Velka in the north, running through Sv. Ana, Sv. Trojica and ending in Dvorjane divides the western and the easteren Slovenske gorice sub-dialects (Koletnik 1999: 370).
