Dialectology of the Montenegrin Language
«
“Čirgić’s monograph on the Štokavian dialects of Montenegro provides a modern and up-to-date overview of the kind one very rarely encounters in English. Montenegrin dialects represent one of the marginal dialect areas of Slavic, encompassing both remarkable archaisms and fascinating innovations. The book, authored by a leading expert in the field, will be of great interest to Slavists, as well as to dialectologists, phonologists, and historical linguists in general.”

“Čirgić’s book brings the first comprehensive view of the dialect situation in Montenegro, with implications for contiguous dialects, to a broad international audience, now mediated through English. The rich Montenegrin dialect refugium is a boon to language variationists and Slavic accentologists. The author contextualizes the study of Montenegrin dialects, which helps researchers to navigate the complex literature and previous descriptive treatments of the region that have been produced over the course of more than a century. As such, this book is a significant milestone in the post-Yugoslav study of South Slavic dialectology.”
