Popis: U radu se proučavaju sibilantski i interdentalni frikativi uočeni u govoru pouzdanih ali i ostalih tipova govornika talijanskoga idioma u zapadnoj Slavoniji. Prisutnost i proizvodnju tih glasova valja promatrati u odnosu na isti tip glasova u bliskim talijanskim dijalektalnim govorima sjevernoga Veneta i naročito u arhaičnom govoru grada Belluna te u zapadnim furlanskim govorima. Prema prvoj postavljenoj hipotezi nedostatak podudarnosti u izgovaranju tih glasova kod svih govornika valja pripisati promjenama kojima je jezična zajednica izložena. Druga se hipoteza upire na tvrdnju da je nedostatak nekih glasova zamjetljiv i učestao uglavnom među nepouzdanim govornicima i polugovornicima promatranoga idioma. Rezultati pokazuju da ciljani glasovi još uvijek postoje uglavnom u govoru onih govornika koji nemaju znatnijih dodira s modernim talijanskim govorima; istodobno, pojedini se ciljani glasovi zamjenjuju sličnim glasovima koji postoje ili u suvremenim talijanskim govorima ili u govorima većinskoga hrvatskog jezika. This paper focuses on sibilant and interdental fricative phones perceptible among reliable as well as all other types of speakers of the Italian Vernacular of Western Slavonia (IVWS). The production of fricatives in IVWS should be observed in relation to their presence in similar Italian dialectal vernaculars, namely in northern Veneto dialects, particularly in the archaic Belluno vernacular, and in western Friuli patois. The first research hypothesis is the proposition that a lack of correspondence in the pronunciation of certain phones can be treated as an expected phenomenon, due to the changes that the speech community has undergone. The second hypothesis is that the absence of some phones will be perceptible and consistent mostly among unreliable speakers and semi–speakers. The results show that the targeted phones exist in the pronunciation of mainly those speakers who have not been in contact with modern Italian variants; at the same time, the same phones are often substituted with near phones that exist in either modern Italian vernaculars or in the majority Croatian language.
