Jabłonkowanie
Appearance
Jabłonkowanie (Polish: [jabwɔŋkɔˈvaɲɛ]) is a regional phonological feature of the Polish language. It consists in the merger of the series of retroflex sibilants [ʂ, tʂ, ʐ, dʐ] ⟨sz, cz, ż, dż⟩ and palatal sibilants [ɕ, tɕ, ʑ, dʑ] ⟨ś, ć, ź, dź⟩ into a phonetically-intermediate series [ʃʲ, tʃʲ, ʒʲ, dʒʲ] ⟨śz, ćz, źż, dźż⟩.[1]
It is named after the Jabłonków subdialect of Polish (named after the town of Jabłonków in Cieszyn Silesia). It occurs in a number of other Polish subdialects. [1]
The feature is in part the result of the process of dispalatalization (decreasing of the number of palatalized consonants) similar to features of "mazurzenie" and "kaszubienie " in other Gorals subdialects.[2]
