Analysis demonstrates morphosyntactic features in Kosovo-Resava dialects, suggesting stability with Balkan innovations.
The paper has analyzed selected morph syntactic details of verbs (present, aorist, imperfect, future I, infinitive, imperative, adverbial verb) in dialects of Donja Sitnica (Banjska and Gojbulja) and Srednji Ibar (Isevo and Sochanica), which belong to south subdialect of Kosovo-Resava dialect. General conclusion is that condition in researched zones is mostly balanced, which means that diasystems have two distant zones of stable Kosovo-Resava properties, but also there is indulgence of structures and tendencies towards expansion of innovations of Balkan type in speeches of Donja Sitnica, which are still in their infancy and their justification is in positioning this zone towards lingvogeographic periphery. Innovative features did not affect the morph syntactic level to a large extent, which testifies to the inclusion of this area in the all shtokavian flows of Kopaonik belt
