Abstract

This paper is a contribution to the corpus of dialect data from regions along the Slo­vene-Croatian national border. It provides a brief description of the phonemic inventory of the Croatian village dialect of Mohenski in Brezova Gora. It also reports on developments in the pro­sodic system based on a spectrographic analysis of tona! oppositions in this dialect and compares the situation in Mohenski to the dialects just across the border in Slovenia.
