On the Retraction of the Neo-Circumflex in Čakavian

The paper discusses the retraction of the neo- circumflex in Čakavian (and also in passing in Kajkavian as well). The two main points of discussion are the border of the southern isogloss of the retraction of word-final neo- circumflex (of all origins) as in gȍdīšć < godȋšć ‘years’ and the northern retraction of the contractional word-medial neo-circumflex as in vȍńāmo < vońȃmo ‘we stink’. The problem of a dialectal Common Slavic contraction and the rise of the neo-circumflex in a number of phases is also tackled.
