Accentology of Prepositions in Contemporary Slovak

Summary/Abstract: This article studies the relationship between stress, as one of the important suprasegmental phenomena in contemporary Slovak and the pronunciation of the prepositions. In the focus of attention we place the monastic prepositions to which pronunciation grammars do not prescribe clear rules, unlike other cases where the syllable is accentuated. These cases in the linguistic literature have received detailed attention. In searching for the regularities in the functioning of the stress on the Slovakian monastic predispositions in this study, the genesis of this suprasegmental phenomenon in the Slavonic base of the Slovak language and its development in the three main Slovak dialects: Central, West Slavic and Eastern Slavic was outlined. In addition, the evolution of the Slovak philological thinking about the accentology of the monastic prepositions in the Slovak language is traced. The starting point for this evolution was the end of the 18th and the first half of the 19th century, when the renewed interest in the syllabotonical poetry led to the imposition of the pronunciation with an accented pretext as an orthoepic norm. Research, especially in the second half of the 20th century, contributed to the assumption that unicast pretexts do not necessarily have to be stressed. On the basis of their own exaggerated glottometrical data from the 21st century, compared to older statistics, the tendencies in the unique practice of the monastic prepositions in contemporary Slovak language are outlined.
