Abstract
Novi cirkumfleks so po mnenju večine raziskovalcev povzročile fonetične okoliščine; razumejo ga kot nadomestno podaljšanje v zameno za izgubo notranjega šibkega polglasnika ali za skrajšanje prvotnega dolgega samoglasnika v naslednjem zlogu. V pričujočem prispevku avtor razčlenjuje dejstva, ki nasprotujejo temu nazoru, in zagovarja razlago, da je novi cirkumfleks nastal kot rezultat delovanja oblikoslovnih in fonetičnih dejavnikov. The neocircumflex has most often been described as being phonologically conditioned and is usually understood to represent lengthening in compensation for the loss of an internal weak jer or the shortening of an original long vowel in the following syllable. This article examines evidence that calls this explanation into question and argues that the neocircumflex does not represent compensatory lengthening, but should be attributed to a combination of morphological and phonological factors.
