On some morphological features of the Khatukayan-Adamiyan dialect
The paper dwells on morphological features of the Khatukayan-Adamiyan dialect of the Adyghe language. The purpose of research is to identify and describe some features in arrangement of nouns, adjectives and verbs in this dialect. The problems we solved are as follows: to describe the morphological features of the Khatukayan-Adamiyan dialect relating to formation of limit-diminutive degree of adjectives and to investigate infinite-finite forms of the dialect. Traditional linguistic methods used in this research include descriptive, comparative, method of the contextual analysis, as well as such techniques as observation and generalization. The revealed features of the Khatukayan-Adamiyan dialect are of scientific importance and of value for the Adyghe dialectology. The system analysis of morphological features of the Khatukayan-Adamiyan dialect is relevant because of insufficient research of the specifics of the Khatukayan-Adamiyan dialect in the Adyghe linguistics. The research of the problems connected with the grammatical nature of the Khatukayan-Adamiyan dialect and its functioning makes a certain contribution to the general theory of studying morphology of the Adyghe languages. The practical value of this research lies in that the obtained results can be useful when developing a course of lectures on dialectology of the Adyghe languages.
