Abstract

This paper presents a phonologic description of the Derventa speeches with accents distribution, distribution of vowel lengths, with position after an accented syllable in some word categories, and specifi c stress transfer to the proclitic. The results indicate that all of the pupils conserve vowel lengths, with position after an accented syllable, while in the eastern Serbian speeches the tendency of losing these lengths has taken root. It is noticeable that stress transfer to the proclitic is not as frequent as in the western Serbian speeches. Registered accentual doublets are quite common in many western speeches.
