За красивые глаза (Первый роман) (Russian Edition)
Vowels and Prosody There are 5 vowel phonemes that occur under stress in CSR and a reduced system of 3 vowel phonemes that occur without stress in CSR. However, there is phonemic stress. This implies that there will be a marked difference in the realization of stressed vs. Compare the following examples: All of these systems have in common the following distinctions: It is possible to derive a stress model that adequately describes both nominal and verbal forms.
For examples of these systems, see Feldstein In certain declensions, stress is directly correlated with the desinence. Examples of minimal pairs based on stress: The following chart shows the phonemes and allophones that occur in a 4- syllable grid: This alternative formulation is a more precise linguistic definition. Due to the impact of palatalization on the phonetic realization of the vowels which their precede or follow, it is possible to speak of four degrees of phonetic vocalic variations due to palatalization in the following environments: Other important examples that illustrate the range of allophonic realization due to the effects of palatalization are: The only exceptions to this rule are some not all foreign borrowings cf.
We maintain the same principle as articulated for vocalic phonemes, i. Stops are not aspirated. The two most important distinctions in CSR consonants are: However, there are isolated word forms where the nonpalatalized sibilants are pronounced as if palatalized cf. These rules include Verbickaja Consonant clusters are very restricted at the beginning of a word such that only those consonants that occur in prefixes may occur cf.
There are fewer consonant clusters in stem final position, and of those that do occur, CC is the most frequent type. Although CSR does not have phonemic consonantal length, there are occasions where one or two consonants are extended and exhibit length in pronunciations: Foreign borrowings do not generally violate the pronunciation of consonants as sometime occurs with the unstressed vowels.
Voicing assimilation occurs within words, across morpheme boundaries, and across lexical boundaries. This type of assimilation is regressive cf. Loss of jot in word initial and intervocalic positions: In consonant clusters consisting of 3 phonemes, one of the phonemes may not be pronounced in conversational CSR. In most cases, where only one phoneme is not pronounced, it will be the middle one. Permissible clusters and maximum length CSR allows up to 4 consonants in a row cf.
In each of these cases, we are dealing primarily with adjectives in -sk- cf. Note that if one of the sounds is not pronounced, it will always be the second phoneme of the cluster t or d. The occurrence of consonant clusters with 2 or 3 consonants is quite common in CSR cf. Word length can extend to include as many as 8 syllables primarily in relfexive participles in oblique case form , although normal word length is syllables cf. In conversational CSR, there may be considerable reduction in the number of phonemes actually pronounced in given lexemes cf.
Voicing assimilation of consonant clusters - see 1. The following is only one version of how the rules may be stated: If the final consonant of CC is a velar, or the root is monosyllabic, softening of the first consonant of CC is blocked. Three forms in CSR defy all of the rules given above: Note in the case of comparative adjectives that in some instances the -k- suffix is dropped. Petersburg The literature on phonological variants between the two historical Russian capitals, St. Petersburg and Moscow, usually identifies as many as 50 orthoepic and orthophonic differences between the two centers Verbickaja For a complete listing of the differences with accompanying analysis, see Verbickaja I would add that there are still lexical differences between St.
Below are some examples of the more commonly used forms: Mila didn't like soap. The declensional system of CSR distinguishes gender, number and case. CSR verbal conjugation signals number, gender and person such that the past tense signals gender and number, the present and future tenses signal number and person. Nondeclinable forms include adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and a restricted list of substantival borrowings.
Animacy is distinctive in singular declension only in masculine I declension forms, yielding a realignment in N and G inflectional endings in the accusative. Note that one may encounter certain masculine nouns that are semantically inanimate but behave decline like animate nouns in the accusative singular cf.
Gender distinctions are not signaled in agreement in the plural number. Agreement plays a significant role in signaling gender in nouns, adjectives, pronouns and past tense verb forms. The gender of nouns may shift in derivation and in diachrony see 2. Some Declension II nouns are epicene, and potentially signal either masculine or feminine gender cf. The following list gives some of the more frequent lexical examples: The most frequent examples include the following: Substantival case declensions in CSR display varying degrees of syncretism e.
The correlation between the three declensions and gender in CSR is as follows: Note that although the examples display both hard and soft stem nouns, this distinction does not affect the actual desinence morphophonemically except in the genitive plural where the desinences are morphophonemically distinct , but does require a different grapheme cf.
Nominative feminine singular -a desinence: In those instances where the nominative form has a desinence other than zero, that desinence must be dropped before adding the case ending. Morphophonemic consonant mutations of the type commonly found in the West Slavic languages are not a principle of Russian nominal declension. However, there is the locative singular desinence -e, which automatically softens preceding paired consonants cf. Also, there will instances where consonants may be modified or lost in declension.
Vowel-zero alternations are very common in nominal declension. Nominal declensions in CSR include both fixed and mobile stress paradigms. Included in this group are many Russian family names. Note the following examples: For other types of gender shifts and examples of multiple gender agreement that are possible in derivational morphology, cf.
Examples also see Vingradov This group includes both common and proper nouns and abbreviations. These nouns, most generally ending in -i, -u, -e or -o, reflect case function syntactically via adjectival and verbal modifiers: Masculine family names borrowed from Ukrainian or non-Slavic languages that end in a vowel generally do not decline cf. The complexity of the genitive plural involves not only a broader range of desinental choices than is typical of the CSR case system 3 endings: If there is a zero ending in the nominative singular, then there will be a non-zero ending in the genitive plural; if there is a non-zero ending in the nominative singular, then there will be a zero ending in the genitive plural.
Note the following diagram: This principle was originally discovered by R. There are some notable exceptions cf. Pay special attention to the frequency of vowel-zero alternations in those forms with a zero desinence. For a detailed description of the vowel- zero alternation, see 1. Formally, only nouns and adjectives signal case via a group of well-defined desinences.
Specific verbs and prepositions may require a particular case or set of cases, depending on the semantic focus. The case system is one of the most robust structures of the grammar of CSR, penetrating both morphology and syntax. In order to achieve a deep understanding of the Russian case system, it is imperative to become acquainted with the range of reference and meaning that is available to each of the cases and to the system as a whole.
Although rarely mentioned, there will be a short discussion of the so-called vocative form in CSR. For a detailed discussion of the markedness values of the Russian cases, see Jakobson , The nominative form is typically given as the dictionary form of the word. Finally, the nominative case is used in apposition where a common noun is followed by a more specific proper name. In these instances,, the proper name may be in the nominative regardless of the case form of its antecedent common noun cf. Forms in the accusative are acted upon, moved upon or created as a result of the verbal process.
The accusative case is one of the most prevalent forms for the objects of transitive verbs in CSR. Although the use of the accusative case following most transitive verbs in CSR is trivial, there will occasionally be instances that seem counterintuitive to L1 speakers of non- Slavic languages cf. Possession is designated by putting the possessor or the object one belongs to in the genitive case: Common verbs that require the genitive case with or without a preposition: Common verbs that require either the genitive or accusative case without a preposition: The list of prepositions used with the locative is relatively more restricted than with the other cases, and only one of the five prepositions is used exclusively with the locative.
The meaning of the locative case is related directly to the meaning of the preposition with which it is used: However, there is, in fact, a special morphological form with a zero ending used as an address form. This zero desinence is used only with a limited list of derivative proper names usually having no more than 2 syllables and a very restricted list of common nouns.
Long form adjectives inflect for case, number and gender. In the plural forms, only number and case are reflected. Short form adjectives only exist in the predicate nominative form and inflect for gender and number. The following paradigms demonstrate the range of possibilities of adjectival declension. Adjectives that give ordinal numerals, denote animal names, or end in the suffix -sk- do not form comparatives.
For more information on restrictions in the formation of comparative adjectives, see Vinogradov For example, when comparing qualities that are more intrinsic to the objects age, height, etc. The synthetic forms are more restricted than was seen with comparative synthetic forms. For a thorough discussion of stress patterns in all degrees and forms of adjectives, see Vinogradov In addition to the use of the genitive case, CSR has a full complement of possessive pronouns that can also be used instead of the genitive case.
Beyond these two major options, there is a third class of adjectives that can show possession. The pronominal possessive adjectives in CSR are called as such based on their declensional paradigm. Unlike the qualitative and relational adjectives discussed above, pronominal adjectives obligatorily have one of the following suffixes: In some instances, one may find potentially competing adjectival forms with very specific, non-overlapping meanings. Note the following semantic differences in pronominal adjectives vs.
The basis for inclusion in this category is primarily a semantic one. Formally, many of the so-called pronouns given below are of a mixed nominal-adjectival declension. In the case of the personal pronouns, there are also examples of suppletive forms. The traditional presentation of pronouns in the Russian Academy Grammar Examples of each type will be given below.
Note that the reflexive personal pronoun never occurs in the nominative case and always refers back to the subject of the sentence or clause. The full declensional paradigms of the CSR personal and reflexive pronouns are given below. Once adulthood is reached, it is less trivial to determine appropriate 2nd person pronominal usage.
In recent years, there is among certain groups a more relaxed attitude about the usage of the familiar form instead of the formal one. Once a relationship between interlocutors has been established, pronominal usage may be negotiated as mentioned directly above. However, it is also possible to find reflexive pronouns in instances where the reflexive modifies the grammatical subject cf.
It is typical for English speakers to overuse possessive pronouns in Russian, including reflexive possessive pronouns. In normal Russian speech, possessive pronouns are omitted in instances where possession is obvious, especially when speaking of family members cf.
These pronouns are gendered masculine and neuter respectively. The other interrogative and relative pronouns include the following: I want to go skiing with friends! Note the difference in stress, the stem-final consonant palatalized vs. She used to live below us. These forms translate as both 'this' and 'that' or even 'the' in English.
In some grammars, one will find demonstrative pronouns called demonstrative pronominal adjectives because of their declension. Note some of the more common ones: Each of these forms requires a negated verb form that, in some grammars, is characterized as a double negative. No new declensional types are introduced in this section. Most other numerals 'five' to 'twenty,' 'thirty,' 'forty,' etc. One other unique feature of compound numerals is the fact that all parts decline. Ordinal numerals are adjectival in form, distinguish case, number and gender, agree with the head noun of the phrase, and correspond to each of the cardinal numbers.
Note that 'third' is the only ordinal numeral in CSR that has a pronominal declension. Ordinal numbers are required in a different range of contexts that one might expect coming from a non-Slavic language perspective. Note the following examples using ordinals: Note that although listed by the Russian Academy grammar as an indefinite pronoun, these forms are often quite specific and definite: This tendency is recognized and noted in the Russian Academy Grammar However, what remains most stable is the obligatory reflection of case in the final numeral of the phrase.
An addition tension occurs in case choice in phrases with a large numerical value hundred, thousand, million between the genitive and the case of the phrase itself. Note the following examples with case forms given in the order of their frequency based on a survey of educated urban speakers of CSR: When consulting literary works for examples, the Russian Academy Grammar notes that collective numeral forms may occur as high as 18 All collective numerals used in non-oblique case forms require the genitive plural of the noun phrase that it modifies.
All collective numerals are end-stressed in the oblique cases. The use of collective numerals is obligatory when modifying nouns that only exist in the plural cf. Collective numerals are never used to refer to exclusively female groups. Other commonly used expressions of collectives include the following prepositional phrases that are now written as one word and some other collective numerical forms are given below. These examples are merely the tip of the iceberg: Fractions are expressed in a combination of cardinal and ordinal numeral types. When seen from this perspective, there is a clear correlation between units of time up to a week, where the accusative case is required, and from a week to larger units months, years, centuries where the locative case is required.
When actual dates are involved, there is the addition of certain genitive constructions, including the obligatory use of the genitive case in dates that include the day, month and year. The seasons of the year and times of the day generally require the instrumental case. When telling time, there are two conventions: Both conventions will be listed under 1 A and B in the order given above.
Petersburg for a week. Petersburg in a week. Petersburg a week already. Some of these forms are declined nouns, adjectives, pronouns and numerals, others are combined with prepositions, or formed from verbs or verbal adverbs. Adverbs of quantity require the genitive case usually plural, but the singular is also used with certain lexemes that are reluctant to pluralize. Consider the following examples: The singular is generally used which means neuter past tense and 3rd person singular for present and future , but the plural may be possible in some instances where a greater emphasis is on the individuality of the members of the group.
Some prepositions are restricted and used with only one case, while others may be used with multiple cases to express different meanings. Prepositions play a major role in verbal government. Compound prefixes and suffixs are allowed in CSR. In word-formation, consonants and vowels may shift, mutate or drop. The following section will list all of the Slavic prefixes and suffixes and many of the borrowed prefixes and suffixes. The root serves as the base and center of derivation and may or may not occur without its word-formative components.
Many prefixes and suffixes can be shared by more than one part of speech while others cannot. In some instances a root may be identified as predominantly substantive nominal , adjectival, or verbal. The following sections will give an overview of word formation in CSR with examples of prefixation and suffixation in nouns, adjectives, adverbs and verbs. For more information on the specifics of Russian derivational morphology, cf.
Vinogradov , Townsend and Andrews In the following sections, I will briefly summarize in tabular form the nominal and adjectival suffixes in CSR. He made a frank admission.
