- W329200909 abstract "Abstract: Despite minor disagreements over a very few specific features and recognized differences between the formal and colloquial registers, correct or was a fixed concept during the Soviet era. It was russkij literaturnyj jazyk (the literary language) or, in the terminology of American Slavists, Contemporary Standard (CSR). Here I argue that the post-Soviet of educated speakers is evolving into a dialect, a term coined by Millward (1988) to describe General American. A negative dialect is characterized not so much by the specific features that it has but by the identifiably regional or non-normative ones that it lacks. However, because it permits a greater degree of internal variation than do strict prescriptivist models, it often stigmatizes major norm violations even more than a traditional language. I call this emerging dialect Educated Mainstream Russian and make my case for it by comparing and contrasting developments in emigre-Russian versus mainstream-Russian lexicon, semantics, phonology, prosody, morphology, and syntax. 1. Introduction The quotation marks in the title of this article are deliberately provocative. In this paper I will argue that the entire notion of standard or normative has been redefined in the post-Soviet era and that emigre is one of the major proofs of this claim. This redefinition goes much beyond the well-known differences between the codified literary language and colloquial established by Zemskaja (1973), for even here the researchers often framed their discussion in terms of literary versus colloquial norms. To the contrary, the current sociolinguistic picture in Russia casts doubt on most speakers' recognition or acceptance of clear-cut norms altogether and suggests a significant readjustment in language attitudes. This new reality has provoked a great deal of discussion in the academic and popular press, with many complaints about the supposedly debased state of the language and the lack of proper linguistic role models. The following observation is typical. Among bureaucrats and politicians only a handful speak and write correctly. And television announcers, the tacit model of proper during the Soviet era, have long since ceased to be such (Suxova 2001: 16). (1) One obvious concern is the large influx of English words, as Western consumer goods, as well as social, political, and economic concepts, permeate the country (Velicko 1995, Bazylev and Sorokin 1998). Closely related to this is an uneasiness over the emergence of English as a de-facto global lingua franca and the correspondingly lesser importance of as an international language (Fedorova 2001). Here there are obvious parallels but also significant differences between linguistic developments in the motherland and in emigre Russian, and I will explore this matter more fully in Sections 4 and 5.4 below. There are also protests over incursions of nonstandard syntax, particularly in verbal governance. One trenchant commentary in Literaturnaja gazeta (Culaki 1999) decries the growing use of o 'about' plus prepositional case, especially in complex sentences with to, (cto) 'that (which)' as a complementize, e.g., vozmuscat' sja (o tom) 'to be indignant (over)' instead of instrumental case; iskljucat' (o tom) 'to exclude', podtverzdat' (o tom) 'to confirm', dokazat' (o tom) 'to prove' instead of accusative; ponimanie (o tom) 'understanding (of)' instead of genitive, etc. (2) Phonetic and suprasegmental variations are more subtle issues than the outright use of new Anglicisms and/or nonstandard syntax, but they are also troublesome to many observers. Velicko (1995: 55) faults not only the abovementioned television announcers but also journalists in general and even students of philology for their careless attitude toward stress. …" @default.
