Four points were singled out for an auditive analysis: Adutiškis, Svirkos and Vidutinė, situated along the Lithuanian-Belorussian border, belong to the north-eastern dialects ofthe Vilnius area; the fourth, Linkmenys, represents a transition between the dialects ofthe Utena and Vilnius areas and is closer to the former with respect to vocal¬ism. These points have been carefully chosen with the aim ofsubjectively evaluating the auditive salience oftones in different points ofthe north-eastern part ofthe Vilnius dialect area.
