DUAL CONSTRUCTIONS OF CONCRETE NOUNS AS A PROJECTION OF LATGALIAN OLD BELIEVERS LANGUAGE REFLECTIONS
Abstract
In folk speech within the scope of one utterance, synonyms and word-doublets can be encountered, which in linguistics are usually called dual constructions. Their necessity is caused by communication between representatives of different generations, as well as by communication of village residents with representatives of the city and other villages. At the same time, due to the interaction among different time layers of lexis, coexisting in one historical epoch, and / or due to the development of the historical polysemy of the word, the interaction among different social strata becomes fixed within the same dialect. The present article considers dual constructions of nouns, which perform an identifying function. The language material is presented in two aspects: a thematic classification is given and a classification reflecting the linguistic consciousness of the speaker, for example, words-artefacts (?????), nominations of the phenomena of surrounding nature (???????), etc. In addition, ways of introducing foreign words are analysed: metatext notes of explanatory character by dialectal speech speakers (??-????????; ??-?????????; ??-???????????????; ?? ?????; ??? ????; ???? ? ?? ?), the opposition of the church and dialect words (???????? ???????; ?????????? ???????), etc. The research base: more than 200 language units, derived from writings of dialectal speech and folklore of Old Believers from Latgale (south-eastern part of Latvia), collected during expeditions from 1977 to the present day. The methods of research: descriptive method, method of systematizing the language material, interview (field studies).
