THE ADJECTIVE IN THE DIALECT OF NEKRASOV COSSACKS IN STAVROPOL REGION

Abstract

The article studies the specificity of the adjective in the Russian island dialect of old believers Nekrasov Cossacks in Stavropol Krai. The author substantiates the provision that the composition of the vocabulary of the dialect in the name of the adjective is partly inherited from a number of Russian dialects, both northern and southern, but for the most part is arisen in the name of the adjective, during emigration. As a result of the study of ideographic classification the author reveals speciic communicative-nominative preferences of the speakers. With the reference to the content and form of the morphological category of the adjective, the author describes the facts of violation of the non-global bans that exist in the Russian literary language (an extension of the Glossary regarding possessive adjectives, not corresponding to the semantic rules, the specifics of unstressed inflections of certain case forms of adjectives), the resource usage of the national language (the existence of speciic structural and semantic relation of word-formation models), including archaic (outdated form of comparative degree, formed on the basis of the superior degree of the corresponding adjectives), structural and phonetic phonological alignment. The author shows that as a result of the long isolation of Nekrasov dialect from the maternal basis, the composition of adjectives has changed signiicantly, which is conirmed by the data of semantics, phonetics, morphology and word formation of the studied word class.
