VARIABILITY OF STRESS NORM IN MODERN RUSSIAN AND FACTORS OF THEIR CODIFICATION

Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of stress variability in modern Russian, focusing on the factors of their codification in pedagogical and accentological aspects. The relevance of this topic is substantiated in the context of the increasing role of oral public speech in educational and examination communication. A typology of accentual variability is proposed, including lexical, paradigmatic, word-formation, stylistic, regional, and institutional types. The causes of stress fluctuations are examined from the perspectives of phonetics, morphology, sociolinguistics, and didactics. Particular attention is paid to the mechanisms of norm codification, the role of dictionaries, assessment procedures, and the requirements of standardized education. The need to differentiate between examination and professional orthoepic norms is substantiated. This article presents methodological guidelines for developing orthoepic competence at various stages of education. It is intended for teachers, methodologists, linguists, and developers of educational materials.
