  • Prekmursko narečje med Muro in Rabo na vseh jezikovnih ravninah primerjalno z današnjim nadnarečnim prekmurskim knjižnim jezikom
    Zorko, Zinka
    The Prekmurje Dialect, as one of the four dialects of Pannonia Dialectal Group, has been researched in detail by numerous dialectologists, M. Valjavec, B. Raić, O. Asboth, A. Pavel, F. Ramovš, A. ... Vratuša, T. Logar, J. Rigler, Z. Zorko, M. L. Greenberg, but to name a few. Traditionally the Prekmurje Dialect has been divided into three sub-groups, Goričko, Ravensko and Dolinsko. Phonetically the said three sub-groups differ due to relativelly recent Prekmurje-only innovations. Due to being a marginal dialect of the Slovenian language territory, it has preserved some structural features, e.g. brevity as a reflection of the old acute accent. Its links to Western Slavic languages (i. e. Slovak language) are reflected in conjugation of the verb of the type nese:š (slsš. NesieŠ). Being a dialect in dose contact with German and Hungarian it has featured some specific developments, e. g.: - palatal plosive-like pronunciation of j as mono-phonemic sound dj, tj, kj, dž, depending on neighbouring sounds - frontal rounded-off wovels it and ij or e near consonnts v and r Prekmurje vocabulary, being of Pannonain-Slovenian nature as well as the continuation of the Cyril-Methodian tradition, differs a lot from the central Slovenian vocabulary not only due to its having been cut off for a long time from the other Slovenian dialects but also due to socio-political and church administrative circumstances the region had been subjected to. The non-linguistic fact is a long tradition of regional literary language which is stili used on a daily basis in communication among the local people in that it is also us ed as liturgical language by the Protestants of Prekmurje. The Prekmurje dictionary differs violently from the central Slovenian one, containing a lot of pannonisms; germanisms are used as often as in other Slovenian dialects; surprisingly there are few Hungarian semantic linguistic units. As regards syntax one cannot help but notice the Pannonian negation; the word order of verb mood is dialectal and there also are typical features of direct wording expression, i. e. repetitions of various kinds, dialectal articles, omissions, auxiliaries, insertions, etc. The present-day over-literary language has been applied in the majority of functional types. Practical Communication Language is used in ordinary conversations, news, announcements, reports, simple descriptions and tales in that direct wording expression is used, featuring all the sound and accentuation rules of Prekmurje language, dialectal use of words incorporating the glossary of language environment and non-smoothness of choice of words. There are also written texts, especially in books and newspapers (Porabje, non-artistic texts). Professional language is written predominantly in religious texts for religious services (especially in Evangelical Church), in publications of Slovenski koledar (yearbook of Slovenians in Hungary) and the newspaper Porabje (articles by Maria Kozar-Mukič). Journalistic language is used in newspapers in editorials and commentaries on current political, economic and cultural events, interviews, etc. ...
