Abstract

The article discusses the rise of the irregular reflex of Proto-Slavic jat in the Slovenian dialect of Resia from the comparative-historical linguistic point of view. The irregular reflex of jat in Resian arose, according to this hypothesis, from two different allophones of this vowel. The phenomenon draws attention to the traces of two archaic Slavic phonetic characteristics in Slovenian, i.e., the positional palatalization of consonants before front vowels as well as the tendency for vowel quality to depend on consonantal environment.
