Grammatical Features of Belarusian Russian: Phenomena Between Lexis and Morphology
The paper presents the results of a corpus-based analysis of the characteristics of Belarusian Russian that demonstrate morphology-lexicon interface (inflection of polysemantic words, use of particles and other markers of grammatical forms, word-formation, etc.). The study shows that the functioning of country-specific lexicogrammatical units is a multifactorial process representing the interplay of system-internal and contact-induced processes in language change.
