Observaţii asupra palatalizării labiodentalelor f, v în subdialectul maramureşean
Observations on the palatalization of labiodentals f, v in the sub-dialect of Maramureş

Summary/Abstract: The labiodentals f and v have had specific stages of palatalization in the sub-dialect of Maramureş. In the central area, the region where all characteristics typical for this dialectal area can be found, the labiodentals f and v are palatalized (after them the previous vowels are being preserved) to s, and z (in some cases d′ or Ф). These phonetic forms are in competition with literary forms that do not have the altered consonant and they are marked on the map with the following observation: recent [R] or form used by youngsters [T]. In the area of Săpânţa there is a region that is encountered in the North of Tisa river, where f is palatalized to h' (like in the crişean sub-dialect), and v is palatalized to Ф: iţăl "viţel"; işină "vişină".
