“…Although more recent sources indicate progressive loss of tone in Slovene dialects (Lundberg, 2001;Vera Smole and Roberto Dapit, p.c. ), it is still believed that tonal Slovene is widely spoken.…”

Včlanku so predstavljeni predhodni rezultati obsežnejše akustičneštudije o prozodiji slovenščine. Pričujoča raziskava o akustičnih lastnostih leksikalnega tona v slovenščini obravnava trajanje samoglasnikov, jakost in osnovno frekvenco. Statistično značilnih razlik ni bilo med prvima, medtem ko so bile razlike v F0 visoko statistično značilne. Rezultati se precej razlikujejo od predhodnjih. Dvozložnice se razlikujejo v relativnem F0 posameznih samoglasnikov. V trizložnicah z naglasom na prvem zlogu se F0 najbolj razlikuje v zadnjem zlogu.The author presents preliminary findings of a larger acoustic study into prosodic structure of Slovene. This investigation in acoustic properties of tones in Slovene addresses vowel duration, intensity and fundamental frequency. Although no statistical differences between both lexical tones (or pitch-accents) were found in the first and second variable, the third was found highly significant. The results differ greatly from what was previously established. Disyllables differ in F0 of the individual vowels. In trisyllables with antepenultimate stress, the F0 difference is the highest in the final syllable.

Slovene is, along with Serbo-Croatian, an example of a pitch-accent language, one of the only two remaining among the Slavic family. In most of the literature on Slovene, the data on the word-prosody features of this language are taken from the standardized system, a somewhat constructed entity based on the pitch-accent systems of selected dialects. The present survey attempts to give a coherent structural description of the word-prosodic phenomena as they are manifested in the extraordinarily variegated Slovene dialects; these in turn are compared to the standardized system as well as, where relevant, to typologically similar systems found in Croatian dialects. In addition, the key innovations that shaped the prosodic systems of Slovene dialects are discussed. Slovene emerges as a special set of types that share a tendency to concentrate prosodic distinctions -pitch and quantity -in the one stressed syllable of each accented word. Furthermore, these pitch and quantity distinctions in many dialects have become rephonologized as vowel-quality distinctions. A few aberrant local dialects have gained new pitch distinctions or unstressed quantity distinctions. Prozodija slovenske besede tipoloikoSlovenSEina je kot srbohrvaSEina tonemski jezik, eded izmed samo dveh, ki sta Se taka v slovanski jezikovni drusini. PreteZni del strokovne literature o slovenSEini jemlje podatke o besedni prozodiji tega jezika iz knjifnega sistema, ki je v dololieni meri narejen na podlagi tonemskih sistemov izbranih naref ij. V tem pregledu skuSam podati sovisen strukturni opis prozoditnih pojavov na besedni ravnini, kot obstajajo v izjemno pestrih slovenskih naretjih; slednja se prime jajo tudi s knjiZnim sistemom in, kjer so razlogi, s tipoloSko podobnimi sistemi v hrvaSkih naretjih. Dalje se obravnavajo kljutne novosti, ki so oblikovale prozoditne sisteme sloveniXtine. Pri tem se slovenSEina pokaZe kot poseben razred tipov, katerim je skupna teZnja po umeiXCanju prozodifnih razlofkov -tona in kvantitete -na edini naglakni zlog vsake naglasnice. Taki tonski in kvantitetni razlofki so se v Stevilnih narerjih prefonologizirali kot razlofki v kvaliteti samoglasnikov. Nekaj netipitnih manjSih naretij je dobilo nove tonske ali kvantitetne razlotke v nenaglagenih zlogih.
