The monograph covers all known inflectional and accentual patterns for common nouns in standard Slovenian, including all accentual and morphological doublets identified. These patterns provide a theoretical and practical basis for presenting inflectional and accentual patterns in the new growing descriptive and normative dictionary of standard Slovenian (eSSKJ), which is being developed at the Department of Lexicology of the ZRC SAZU Fran Ramovš Institute of the Slovenian Language. The volume consists of several sections. It begins by defining the concept of standard language and presenting the relationship between spoken and written standard language. This is followed by a presentation of the rationale for defining inflectional and accentual patterns, and by a description of how these patterns are represented in selected dictionaries and other sources. The volume then continues with an overview of the methodology used in defining the inflectional and accentual patterns and the findings of morphological and phonological studies of contemporary standard Slovenian. The core part of the volume provides a systematic treatment of inflectional and accentual patterns for nouns, whereby all nouns are classified into specific paradigms.
