1 | The paper outlines the interface of prosodic structure and pragmatic features. In line with cross-linguistic typological generalizations, the primary function of intonation is identified as manifesting salient discourse status, signaling topic-focus discourse functions, and delineating discourse components, clauses and phrases. General correlation is identified between the pitch accent placement and the discourse pragmatic function of Focus. Pitch accent manifests the part of the proposition containing assertion, new, unrecoverable or unexpected information. Keywords: typology, prosody, pragmatics | 925 | ||||
2 | For a long time modern linguistics has been taking a closer examination of the issues and facts related to endangered languages, i. e. languages which do not have the written form. In the given article we try to investigate the manifestation of the vowel and consonant phonemes in the Enets, the Nganasan and the Selkup languages on the basis of the audio-visual and experimental methods. We understand that current innovative linguistic research may bring about new results that will contribute to the better knowledge of these languages and their phonetic and phonological structures. Keywords: the aborigines of Siberia: the Enets, the Nganasans, the Selkups; the audio-visual method, the distributive method, a phoneme | 922 | ||||
3 | This article deals with comparing the intervocalic consonants in two Samojedish languages: the Baj dialect of the Enets language and in the language of the Avam Nganasans; Accept these two languages there are more two Samojedish once – Selcup and Nenets. These four languages are widely used by the aborigines living in the north of Russia. But there is a danger of disappearing these languages (Enets, Nganasan, Selcup and Nenets), because the young generation speak these languages less and less. And that is why investigating these languages are necessary and urgent; peculiarities of the Enets and Nganasan languages are displayed in the system of phonetic and transcription. The studying issues of these languages and their forms (dialects, idioms) mentioned above as well as the degree of their genetic relevance are in the focus of the attention. The phonetic systems of the Avam Nganasans’ language and the Baj dialect of the Enets language are the subject to be analyzed, thereby giving us the proof of homogeneity of the focused Samoyedic languages. Keywords: Samojedish languages, the language of the Avam Nganasans, the Baj dialect of the Enets language, phonetic system, transcriptional scheme, consonant system, intervocalic consonants | 851 |
