"THE REPLACEMENT OF JAT" IN THE VERNACULAR OF OLD POGORICA

Abstract

Autor daje prikaz specifične "zamjene jata" u podgoričkome govoru, koja je uslovila strogu jezičku distinkciju između pripadnika različitih konfesija u ovome gradu (muslimana i hrišćana). Posebna pažnja posvećena je ikavici podgoričkih muslimana kao pojavi koja je izazvala različita tumačenja autorā budući da je njeno postojanje atipično u Crnoj Gori kao prepoznatljivo ijekavskoj zemlji. Poslije interpretacije svih dosadašnjih tumačenja ove pojave, autor daje sopstveno objašnjenje zaključujući da je riječ o autohtonome glasovnom procesu.The purpose of the paper is to give an overview of the specific ‘replacement of jat" in the vernacular of Podgorica, which resulted in a strict linguistic distinction between the representatives of various confessions in this town (Muslims and Christians). Special attention is placed on the ikavica spoken by the Muslims in Podgorica as a phenomenon which caused different interpretations by different authors and which is due to the fact that its existence is not typical of Montenegro where ijekavica is spoken. On analyzing all the previous interpretations of this phenomenon, the author gives his own explanation concluding that it represents a case of an autochthonous vocal process
