Pitch Opposition in Sele: Slovene Tone Loss in Austrian Carinthia

Abstract

SLV: Prispevek opisuje strojno razčlembo sodobnega stanja tonemskih nasprotij v slovenskem govoru vasi Sele na avstrijskem Koroškem. Študija, ki je bila izvedena poleti in jeseni 2007, kaže, da so tonemska nasprotja dosledno ohranjena pri starejši generaciji, medtem ko se pri mlajši izgubljajo, čeprav ne dosledno. ENG: This paper is a description of an instrumental analysis of the contemporary state of tonemic op¬positions in the Slovene micro-dialect of Sele in Austrian Carinthia. The study, conducted during the summer and fall of 2007, indicates that tonemic oppositions are uniformly preserved among the older generation and being lost, although not uniformly, among the younger generation.
