Urban speech has not been described so far, and this paper is a contribution to the description of urban accentuation, with regard to the place of the accent. Unlike local dialects, which are studied in dialectology, urban dialects have been little researched, and both are equally important. By describing all local idioms and urban dialects, we will get a complete picture of the accent system of the whole Croatia, and we will be (even) better acquainted with individual idioms. Vukovar belongs to the four-accent Neo-Shtokavian system, which means that the presence of all four accents (short-falling, long-falling, short-rising, long-rising) is expected. Since it is a speech close to the standard language, it will be presented how much their systems differ or not, with regard to the prescribed place of the accent in the spoken word. Thirty subjects between the ages of nineteen and forty-five took part in the research. Respondents filled out a survey in which their attitudes about speech were checked, and then they were recorded reading a composed text that was crucial for analyzing their speech, i.e. the place of the accent in selected categories of words.
