ABSTRACT
Introduction: the study of the dialectal features of the Mordovian (Moksha and Erzya) languages is one of the urgent tasks of both Mordovian and Finno-Ugric linguistics in general. The importance of this problem is determined by the need to represent the dialectal originality of the Mordovian languages in connection with the disappearance of a number of dialects.
The article considers the evolution and representation of primary pronominal stems, as well as other formants that have lost living word-formative connections, which are interpreted as affixes; features of functioning and isoglosses of the distribution of primary pronominal formations in the Moksha dialect area.
Objective: identification of dialectal features, as well as patterns that led to structural changes in primary pronouns in subdialects and dialects of the Moksha language.
Research materials: language materials of the authors collected during expeditions in the territory of the Republic of Mordovia and beyond.
Results and novelty of the research: аs a result of the study, the distinctive features of the functioning of primary pronominal formations were revealed, which enriched the system of pronouns of the Moksha language dialects, and the isoglosses of the distribution of primary pronominal formations in the Moksha dialect area were determined. The analysis of the linguistic material shows that these categories differ by variation of dialect forms in inflectional paradigms, as well as complex formations that led to structural changes in primary pronouns and are absent in the Moksha literary language.
The scientific novelty of the research lies in the systematization of dialectal features in the field of primary pronominal categories in the Moksha dialect area.
Key words: primary categories of pronouns, personal pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, pronoun formations, deictic particles, case formants, affixes
