ABSTRACT
Introduction: the article is devoted to the description of dialect features of pronouns in five pre-revolutionary Udmurt books of the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries. The analysis is carried out by comparing the linguistic material of the written monuments with the data of the Udmurt literary language and its dialects.
Objective: to identify the features of the functioning of pronouns in Udmurt written monuments in comparison with modern literary norms.
Research materials: online corpora and concordances to five Udmurt books in various dialects of the Udmurt language, placed on the linguistic platform LingvoDoc.
Results and novelty of the research: for the first time the research presents a detailed description of dialect phenomena associated with the functioning of pronouns in five Udmurt books of the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries. As a result of the analysis, a number of specific features are identified in the written monuments related to the functioning of proper-personal, emphatic-personal and negative pronouns, through which the written sources differ from the norms of modern literary language. In the course of the work, the issues of the origin of these dialect features are considered, as a result of which it is established that both archaic and innovative phenomena are represented in the written monuments.
Key words: Udmurt language, dialects of the Udmurt language, written monuments, pronouns, innovations, archaisms
