Oznaczanie fonemów v i v́ w Szczycie dusznym z modlitewnika Olbrachta Gasztołda (1528)
Marking of consonants v and v́ in Szczyt duszny from the prayer book of Olbracht Gasztołd (1528)

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of an analysis of the methods of marking consonants v and v́ in Szczyt duszny (‘Spiritual shield’), a collection of prayers from the prayer book of Olbracht Gasztołd from 1528. The analysis covered the quantitative parameters of the markings and their positional determinants (word, phonetic and lexical). The results of the analysis made it possible to formulate a hypothesis about presence of the doublelip articulation of the consonants v and v́ in the Małopolska variant of the Polish language in the first half of the 16th century, this being a relic of the old pronunciation, preserved in the intervocal position and in the post-vocal position in the forehead of the word.
