CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIVIDUAL TRENDS IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE REGION (USING THE EXAMPLE OF THE VOLGOGRAD REGION)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the characteristics of the language situation of a particular region (Volgograd Oblast). The relevance of the work is due to the need to monitor and describe the processes of interaction between different varieties of the national language that affect its functioning. Individual trends in the development of the Russian language are highlighted using the example of the Lower Volga region. The tendency of dialecticisms to enter the literary language is characterized, and the role of famous regional writers in this process is shown. Fragments of a sociolinguistic survey of schoolchildren on the subject of semantization of key concepts of the Don Cossack culture are given. A conclusion is made about the advisability of conducting regular monitoring of the language situation in the region, which allows identifying certain trends in the development of the Russian language and making short-term and long-term forecasts in this area.
