THE WAYS OF WORD FORMATION IN THE TSUDAKHAR DIALECT OF THE DARGIN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article analyzes methods of nominal word formation in the Tsudakhar dialect of the Dargin language. The subject of the study is word-building suffixes of nouns in the Tsudakhar dialect in comparison with suffixes of the literary Dargin language. The objective of the study is to investigate categories of word formation in the Tsudakhar dialect of the Dargin language. The paper uses methods of theoretical analysis, descriptive method, structural-semantic analysis in the study of word formation of nouns in the system of the Tsudakhar dialect. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that a versatile study of dialects provides valuable material for further study of the history of the formation of the Dargin language and its historical dialectology as a whole. As a result of the research, peculiarities of the word formation of nouns are revealed: the dialect is characterized by proper Tsudakhar suffixes and proper Tsudakhar stems and some suffixes which coincide with ones in the literary Dargin language. The practical significance lies in the fact that the results can be applied to the systematic study of other little-studied dialects of the Dargin language.
