Serbian/Croatian minimal pairs

[LRC staff]

Take a look at:

http://main.amu.edu.pl/~sipkadan/akcent.htm

You will find the pairs, their sound recordings (.au or .waw format), the
sound diagrams, etc. Unfortunately, the page is in Serbo-Croatian.

Best,

>Dear SEELangs members,
>
>For a lecture that I am preparing in general phonetics/phonology, I am
>interested in finding several minimal pairs (or even triplets or
>quadruplets) of word forms in Serbian and/or Croatian that are distinguished
>only by accent (long rising vs. long falling vs. short rising vs. short
>falling), for example:
>
>gra^d (long falling, = [Nom. sg. masc.] city, town)
>vs.
>grad (short falling, = [Nom. sg. masc.] hail)
>
>
>Please indicate accent type as well as full grammatical information and
>translation for each item (my access to Serbia/Croatian reference materials
>is presently limited, so I would probably be unable to fill in this type of
>information myself).
