TYPOLOGY OF CERTAIN MORPHOLOGICAL CATEGORIES IN THE RUSSIAN AND DARGIN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article provides a typological analysis of some morphological categories of the Russian and Dargin languages. It is noted that both in Russian and in Dargin languages, the categories of number and case are common. The difference is the presence of the gender category in the Russian language. There is a category of grammatical class in the Dargin language. Since the category of gender of nouns is a classification, semantically valid and affects the forms of almost all significant parts of speech that reflect this category in case and number paradigms by agreement, this category is important for the typological characteristics of the language. It is also essential that in the Russian language it is inherent in nouns that denote a generalized subject concept. In Dargin a category that could be an organizing center on which other meanings are layered is the category of a grammatical class. The case category of all nominal parts of speech is reflected in word forms that have unambiguous formants for expressing grammatical meaning. Morphological paradigms of cases of all nominal parts of speech in the Dargin language are the same. The morphological system of the language is formed historically and changes very slowly. Typological analysis of some morphological categories of the Russian and Dargin languages allows to show the relative stability of the morphological system of each of these languages.
