SUMMARY
In Icelandic, laterals and nasals are, asa rule, voiceless before/p, t, k/(hjálp,skemmtun,
banki, etc.) and the same is even true for a dental fricative before /k/ (maðkur).
In the Northeast of Iceland, however, the voiced pronunciation of /, m, n before /p,
t, k/ and of a dental fricative before /k/ is quite common and is characteristic for that
part of the country. This latter feature has been called „voiced pronunciation" as op-
posed to the more widespread „voicelesspronunciation".
In the voiccd pronunciation, the cluster It has spccial status. Somc spcakcrs always
devoicc / before /t/ evcn though / is voiced in the clusters Ik, Ip. Some other spcakers
somctimes voicc and somctimcs devoicc / before /t/ according to special rules. This
second dialectal feature is the subjcct of this paper whcrc it is called „tvenns konar
/í“ or „tvenns konar /í-framburður“. In this summary, it is termed as the „special
/í“. — Thc third possibility, viz., that / is always voiced before/t/, does not exist.
Voiccd / before /t/ is definitely in rctreat so that thc special /(-pronunciation mcrges
with thc ordinary voiced pronunciation which, in turn, is losing ground for the voiceless
pronunciation in most parts of the country. The geographical distribution of the special
