| Summary: | The paper provides an overview of the accentual paradigms of masculine o-stems in the socalled classical Neo-Štokavian. It also discusses various changes which have occurred in NeoŠtokavian dialects and changed the original system. The examples of these systematic and nonsystematic changes are adduced from various (Neo-)Štokavian dialects. They serve as an illustration of various processes here discussed: general or partial accentual leveling in the long plural of the short root vowel a. p. b and a. p. c nouns (e. g. eastern bròdovi like stòlovi, compared to western stȍlovi like brȍdovi), the loss of accentual mobility (e. g. grȁdōvā instead of gradóvā, grȁdovima instead of gradòvima), secondary difference in the gen. pl. of a. p. a and a. p. b (pòpōva : prȁgōvā instead of the older pȍpōvā : prȁgōvā) etc. |
