TENDENCIES OF DYNAMICS IN THE STRUCTURE OF PHRASES IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article considers an issue of dynamics in the structure of Russian collocations. The researcher identifies and describes trends in the development of the “small syntax” system. The phrase in the work is studied both in diachronous and synchronous terms. Attention is paid to changing the ability of words to connect with other words depending on the specific conditions of the text – those live processes that constantly occur in speech and ensure the vitality and development of the language. The article also claims that the phrase demonstrates the ability to long-term stability of its inherent form, but against the background of this stability a new phrase is formed. The article continues a series of studies in the theory of collocation and on the issue of active processes in modern Russian. The idea is emphasized that when constructing phrases, the capabilities hidden in its components are activated, begin to act, unfold, and the words realize the combined possibilities embedded in them. As a result, the core word and the dependent component are combined into a single whole, while creating something new: a phrase. The author draws attention to the fact that the dependent component can be unpredictable neither in new models of collocations, nor in occasional speech collocations. The work is based on the results of an empirical analysis of speech facts, the author offers material for adjusting and updating the dictionaries of the National Corps of the Russian Language.
