FEMINITIVES IN RUSSIAN OLD-TIMERS DIALECTS The MIDDLE IRTYSH

Abstract

The article considers the specifics of the systemic and structural organization of the group of feminitives in the Russian old-fashioned dialects of the Middle Irtysh region. The phenomenon of femininity is analyzed using materials from dialect lexicographic sources in order to comprehensively characterize its specificity in the speech of speakers of the dialect. The main structural and semantic features of dialect feminitives are highlighted and described, the main word-formation models for which they were created are established. To identify the specifics of the designation of a woman by her social status, not only a dictionary is used, but also the illustrative material of the dictionary. Based on the work done, it is established that the system of dialect feminitives as a whole is developing in line with the trends characteristic of the development of this group in the Russian language as a whole. At the same time, the materials of the dialect dictionary show the influence of extralinguistic factors on the system of designations of women’s professions.
