PROPER-LEXICAL DIALECTISMS IN THE LEFT-BANK DIALECTS OF THE HILL MARI DIALECT OF THE MARI LANGUAGE

In the article, on the material of the Ozerki, Arda and Yuksar dialects of the Hill Mari dialect of the Mari language, proper lexical dialectisms are considered. The dialect words are compared with the vocabulary of the Mari literary language and the right-bank dialects of the Hill Mari dialect. Despite the fact that in the 60's, 70's and early 90's of the 20th century, a lot of work has been done to study the lexical richness of left-bank dialects, their current state remains unexplored. This determines the relevance of this work. The study summarizes the new factual material collected by the author of the article in the field. As an additional source, we used dialectological materials of the first- and second-year students of the Department of Russian Philology of the Russian-Hill Mari group of the history and philology faculty of the Mari State University and also the data presented in the works of A.A. Savatkova and L.I. Khlebnikova. The analysis of the material shows that in the studied dialects there are such lexemes that in the right-bank dialects and in the Hill Mari literary language either went out of active use or were replaced by foreign language units. In the Ozerki, Arda and Yuksar dialects, words are quite active, which in the modern literary language and in the speech of the current generation of Hill Maris of the Volga River’ right bank are at the stage of transition to a passive vocabulary.
