SPEECH PORTRAIT OF A MODERN RESIDENT OF KEMEROVO: THE ORTHOEPIC ASPECT

Abstract

The article describes methodology, form and results of the study of orthoepic literacy of Kemerovo residents. The historically developed dialect situation in the territory of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass, associated with migration processes and political decisions, determines the originality of the speech portrait of a native speaker of the Russian language living in this territory. The extralinguistic reasons for the fluctuation of orthoepic norms in the speech of a modern Kemerovo resident include the development of the educational infrastructure of the city: the construction of cultural clusters, the opening of branches of the Russian State Institute of Performing Arts, the Moscow State Academy of Choreography and the Central Music School – Academy of Performing Arts. The distinctive features of colloquial speech are not only the mixing of orthoepic pronunciation variants of vowels and consonants, which is a direct result of the assimilation of dialect features of speech of the most active and talented representatives of the younger generation who came to the city from other regions of Russia, but also the fluctuation of stress norms as the most mobile and subject to changes.
