Description
Summary:Introduction. The article deals with the dynamic processes in the phonetic system of Bol’shoi Zhuzhges dialect of Udmurt in its present state. Materials and methods. The main source of the research is the audio materials recorded by the authors of the paper in the villages Bol’shoi Zhuzhges, Malyi Zhuzhges and Kosoevo of Uva district of the Udmurt Republic from 52 informants in five age groups: 10–18 , 18–30, 30–50, 50–70 and over 70 year old. The article employs a complex of methods is used to conduct the research: data collecting “field work” (conversation, direct questions, questionnaires, interviews, observation of speech activities, target selection); the descriptive method (observation, data comparing, generalization as well as interpretation and classification of the materials); с) comparative-historical and qualitative-statistic. Research and Discussion. The analysis of the field materials reveals that the shift in the use of dialects in the speech of people of different age groups primarily includes the following linguistic phenomena: the use of affricates, adding non-etymological sounds in the end of words, vowel correspondence, assimilation of sounds in word stems and affixes. Conclusion. The linguistic processes occurring in the Bol’shoi Zhuzhges develop slowly, which creates a situation when different language variants are revealed in the speech of different age groups within the same dialect. Dynamic processes in the phonetic system of the dialect are determined by intra- and extralinguistic factors.
