ABSTRACT
Introduction: the article is devoted to some peculiarities of nominal inflexion of the Karelian-Ludic dialect speech. The Karelian-Ludic people traditionally live in villages and settlements of the South-Eastern part of the Republic of Karelia in Olonets, Pryazhinsky and Kondopozhsky districts. In terms of language, the Ludic area is quite various, and, according to researchers, this may be due to a certain incompleteness of the process of ethnic and 285 Bulletin of Ugric Studies. Vol. 8, № 2. 2018. linguistic consolidation caused by the industrial development of the region. The Ludic dialect has 19 noun cases: nominative, genitive, partitive, accusative, translative, essive, inessive, elativ, illative, adessive, ablative, allative, comitative, abessive, instructive, prolative, terminative, approximative, aditiv. The system of declension in the Karelian dialects is an orderly and well-established system. The Ludic dialect also has the same case paradigm as the Karelian language. The main differences between the dialects and subdialects formed in the Ludic dialect under the influence of the Vepsian language are manifested, first of all, in the form grammatical markers and in some new cases grammaticalized from postpositions (comitative, elative, ablative, aditive, terminative, approximative).
Objective: description of the features of the case system of the Karelian-Ludic dialect speech.
Research materials: the article is based on already available sources, including dialectal dictionaries and samples of Karelian speech.
Results and novelty of the research: lies, first of all, in the fact that, despite the already existing works (mainly of Finnish scientists), there has not been a full description of the case system of the Ludic dialect of the Karelian language to date. For example, in the work of P. Virtaranta the nominal case paradigm in the Gallezer subdialect was represented by 11–12 cases, and it did not identified the postpositional cases. The Ludic case system, in our opinion, consists of 19 cases.
Key words: the Karelian langauge, the Ludic dialect, case system.
Acknowledgments: the research was performed within the framework of the budget theme AAAA-A18-118012490344-5 "The Baltic-Finnish languages of the North-West of the Russian Federation: linguistic research in social and cultural context".
