Oral Vowels in the Kurpie Dialect

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is a phonetic and acoustic description of stressed oral vowels occurring in the Kurpie dialect, depending on the gender and age of respondents. The realizations of the examined vowels were compared with the standard Polish pronunciation. It can be concluded that the dialectal realizations are best preserved for the vowels [ɔ] and [ɨ], and also for [a] in the group of women. The research results confirmed the disappearance of sounds [e], [ɑ] and [o]. In the analyzed material, the individual realizations were best maintained for [e] and then for [ɑ]. An inclined [o] was present only in one person. Dialectal realizations of vowels are better preserved by women and people of the oldest and middle generations.
