ON THE ROLE OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IN THE ENRICHMENT OF VOCABULARY IN MEZHGUL DIALECT OF THE TABASARAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article analyzes an issue of the role of the Russian language in enriching the vocabulary of the Mezhgul dialect of the Tabasaran language in conditions of bilingualism. At the same time, the adaptation of foreign language borrowings in oral speech of inhabitants is considered. Any word from another language must adapt to systemic laws of Tabasaran. This also happens with lexemes from the Russian language, due to which a large number of borrowings from European languages have also penetrated into the dialect. At the same time, in the last century and a half, the percentage of Russianisms in the dialect has been constantly increasing, which is primarily due to the objective situation in which the Russian language performs various functions: a means of interethnic communication, the state language throughout the territory of the Russian Federation, one of the international languages, etc. At the same time, as a result of the spread of the influence of the Russian language on the living Tabasaran language, no interference phenomena can be traced in the speech of the young generation of Mezhgul residents. Borrowings are subject to various changes only in the speech of the older generation and preschoolers.
