The Sheki dialect of Northern Azeri

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze linguistic features of the Sheki dialect of Azeri spoken in the North central part of the Republic of Azerbaijan. On the basis of two recordings, transcribed, annotated, and translated into English, the analysis focuses on some specific phonological and morphophonological phenomena, and vocabulary. In particular, we present a detailed analysis of vowel lengthening, non-harmonic suffixes, and systematic phonological changes taking place in vowel-final syllables followed by suffixes that begin with the glide y, such as the viewpoint marker in {-(y)Ịr} or the dative marker in {+(y)A}.
