Abstract

The article presents the results of a longitudinal study of the language situation in a multilingual village of Andryushkino (northeast of the Sakha Republic). It is one of two localities where the endangered Tundra Yukaghir (TY) language is still used. Data on TY proficiency were collected in this village by one of the authors in 1987 and then, 35 years later, by the other author in 2022. In both cases, the same methodology for assessing the degree of language competence (DLC) with the help of experts was used. Comparison of data from 1987 and 2022 shows a significant decrease in DLC in younger and middle-aged generations. Our data include 13 people whose DLC was assessed in both studies. The degree of TY competence in six cases out of thirteen has increased over 35 years. The article provides several possible explanations for this growth against the background of linguistic biographies of the speakers and the multicultural and multilingual environment of the village of Andryushkino.

多语言环境中的苔原育卡吉尔语：纵向研究

文章介绍了对 Andryushkino（萨哈共和国东北部）多语言村语言状况的纵向研究结果。该村是仍在使用濒危语言冻原尤卡吉尔语（TY）的两个地区之一。其中一位作者于 1987 年在该村收集了有关 TY 熟练程度的数据，35 年后，另一位作者又于 2022 年在该村收集了有关 TY 熟练程度的数据。在这两种情况下，都采用了同样的方法，在专家的帮助下评估语言能力（DLC）的程度。1987 年和 2022 年的数据对比显示，中青年一代的 DLC 显著下降。我们的数据包括 13 位在两项研究中都接受过 DLC 评估的人。在这 13 人中，有 6 人的 TY 能力在 35 年间有所提高。文章以语言使用者的语言履历以及安德柳什金诺村的多元文化和多语言环境为背景，对这一增长提供了几种可能的解释。
