The alternations of jat in the substantive paradigmatics of literary Bulgarian and Croatian

Summary/Abstract: Subject of this article are the alternations of the place of etymological *e in the substantive paradigmatics of literary Bulgarian and Croatian. Used in the analysis of the morphonologic structures is the functional-analytical approach, which examines the morphonologic alterations as peripheral modifiers of the functional-semantic categories. Morphonology differs from phonology and integrates with grammar as »pre-morphology«. A similar approach adequately solves the alteration's status in the two languages, enabling functional-topologic analysis. The alternation's bond with the grammar categories idiosyncratic for the language system, is substantiated.
