FUNCTIONS OF ADITIVE OF THE TSURAIN DIALECT OF THE DARGIN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article considers all possible distinctive features of the additive of the Tsurain dialect of the Muirin dialect of the Dargin language. The authors use the synchronous method, the method of synchronous comparison with the literary Dargin language, the descriptive and comparative historical methods. The results of the research can be used in teaching the Dargin language at school, in studying the course of Dargin dialectology at a university, in compiling textbooks and methodological manuals on dialectology, in creating a comparative historical grammar of the Dargin and Dagestani languages, in compiling dialectological and etymological dictionaries of the Dargin language. The article concludes that one of the features of the Tsurain dialect is the opposition of the affix of the aditive -chu to the formant of the literary language -chi. The aditive of the Tsurain dialect differs from all aditive cases in its ambiguity. It acts as a function of both a purely local character and the nature of expressing various relationships between the names of objects that are not related to the meaning of location.
