Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The Paradigmatics of Standard Russian presents Russian phonology and inflection in an integral way. It offers an interpretation of the phonological system of Standard Russian based on the Moscow school and comments in detail on such problems as the reduction of non-stressed vowels or the neutralization of the palatalization correlation.

It shows the dynamics of this system and the coexistence of older and newer variants. This phonological system is the starting point for the presentation of the system of inflection, so that it is possible to show interrelations between different types of inflection that would remain hidden when using only orthographic notations.

This method allows to show the inflection of Russian as a relatively closed and tight-knit system, but at the same time clearly shows real exceptions, on which detailed comments are made. The book is based on actual literature and electronic corpuses of Modern Standard Russian.
