F.L. SKITOVA’S RESEARCHES ON CONTRIBUTION OF NORTH RUSSIAN DIALECTS TO LEXICON OF LITERARY LANGUAGE
The article describes the technique, developed by the Perm dialectologist F.L. Skitova, aimed at researching the contribution of the North Russian dialects to the lexicon of the Russian literary language. The process of a dialectal word occurring in the lexicon of the literary language is shown on the example of the adjective кондовый ( kondovy). It is step by step shown how coming from the Finno-Ugric word honka, the dialectal word kondovy through various spheres of the use gets the status of a literary word, developing new meanings and getting new word-formation derivatives. The described linguistic experiment reveals the acute “genetic”, “positive” and “negative” meanings of the word kondovy in contemporary literary speech.
