Abstracts

For centuries, Germans have been a natural part of the demographic structure in our territory. The beginnings of German settlement date back to the 11th century and relate to the development of mining towns and the extraction of mineral resources in Upper Hungary. The Germans significantly enriched cultural, social, and economic life. Despite many external influences, they have retained their specific culture, way of life and mother tongue for centuries. It is the specifics of the German dialect on the territory of Slovakia that are the subject of the present paper. In the introduction, a brief history of the development of German settlement in Upper Hungary is presented. The intention of the paper is to describe and characterize the dialect of the northern part of Hauerland from the phonetic and phonological point of view of segmental phenomena of vocalism and consonantism. We are concerned with the geographical delimitation of the locality we are studying. Subsequently, we present information on the dialect specifics in selected localities of the northern part of the Hauerland language island, based on available information print and electronic sources, as well as on our own field research. In the conclusion of the paper, we characterize the current state of the use of the German dialect in the villages of Malinová, Tužina and in the town of Nitrianske Pravno. The theoretical information is supplemented by the statements obtained from informants during the field research.
