  • Slovenian and Serbian vowels - articulative-instrumental view [Elektronski vir]
    Tivadar, Hotimir
    Slovenian language has a very complex system of vowels when compared to other Slavic languages. This reflects also in their number (8 vowels). This article continues the contrastive analysis of ... vowels between South Slavic languages (a comparison with the Croatian language was published in Govor, 2003). Slovenian language differs from Serbian due to the additional semivowel phoneme (/%/) and the two-tiered system of central vowels (/e/, /%/, /o/ and /%/ in Slovenian, and only e and o in Serbian, which are closer to wide Slovenian /%/ in /%/). The Serbian language has the syllable forming r and additional consonants, which cause problems to Slovenian speakers. One could say that Slovenian is a "vowel" language since the pronunciation of vowels affects the pronunciation of all Slovenian phonemes. The Slovenian language remains in constant contact with the Serbian language, thus it is necessary to continue the contrastive analysis of these two languages.
