Miten muuttuu runokylien kieli:reaaliaikatutkimus jälkitavujen A-loppuisten vokaalijonojen variaatiosta vienalaismurteissa
Abstract In my research I look at sound structure variation and change in the Viena dialect of two Karelian villages Jyskyjärvi and Kalevala. I explore how the final syllable A-ending vowel combinations (iA, eA, UA and OA) and long vowels aa and ää are represented in modern Viena dialects and how vo...
