Summary/Abstract: The accentuation in Bosnian-Herzegovinian dialects is very specific and is characterized by different accent systems. Of particular interest is the accentuation in the Ijekavian-Šćakavian (Eastern Bosnian) dialect. It represents one of the differential feature by which this dialect is distinguished from other Štokavian dialects. There are conflicting opinions about some specific features of the accentuation in the Ijekavian-Šćakavian (Eastern Bosnian) dialect, and they even refer to the number of prosodemes in it. This paper presents the main features of the Ijekavian-Šćakavian (Eastern Bosnian) accentuation and discusses controversial issues about it.
