Project title:<\/strong> Word-formation in non-standard Russian<\/p>\n

Summary of the project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What drives non-standard language? For instance, referring to his fruitful labor, a Russian speaker could say \u2013 Neploxo rabotnul!<\/em> \u2018Well done!\u2019\u2013 using the innovative verb rabotnut\u2019<\/em> instead of porabotat\u2019<\/em> \u2018worked\u2019. In non-standard Russian, verbs bearing the semelfactive marker \u2013nu<\/em>– can perform various actional functions, ranging from semelfactives to Natural Perfectives and even delimitatives. At the same time there is a strong tendency to overuse the prefix za<\/em>– which basically becomes a default prefix. Moreover, a lexicalized pattern can be replaced with a different one as in the verb zamodelirovat\u2019<\/em> \u2018model\u2019 prefixed in za<\/em>-, frequently used in non-standard Russian instead of smodelirovat\u2019 <\/em>prefixed in s-.<\/em> Similar processes are attested in the nominal domain, where there is an informal tendency to replace existing relational adjectives containing –sk<\/em>– with the suffix –ovsk<\/em>-, often with a derogatory sense, which leads to variation like ukrainskij \u2013 ukrainovskij <\/em>\u2018Ukranian\u2019 (xitryj ukrainovskij projekt<\/em> \u2018sly Ukranian project\u2019). We collect an extensive list of such \u201cextravagant\u201d patterns, compare them with variation patterns in the standard language and analyze the strategies that are used by the speakers.<\/p>\n
