Abstract

The subject under discussion is the word family with root morphemes град-/город- in the standard and local Russian dialects over the 19th and 20 th centuries. The author contends that the continual coexistence of words with either the Old Bulgarian nepolnoglasje (vocally reduced root morpheme) град-, or the East Slavic polnoglasje (full root morpheme) город-, has resulted in a significant shift in their use in literary Russian, brought about largely by the standard norms of usage. The words with an Old Bulgarian root morpheme, whether borrowed or locally derived, seem to make up a secondary layer in the localized Russian dialects, the vocally reduced forms preserving a number of the Old Bulgarian characteristics.
