Extract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the accent and quantity systems of the Serbo-Croatian literary language as they function on the synchronic phonological plane, without considerations of morphology or of linguistic history, these being other and separate problems.

The description is based on data presented in the standard works, and on my own observations during a month in Yugoslavia in the summer of 1938.
