Accentual changes in contemporary Russian language – survey analysis

Joanna Woch Logo ORCID

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to reveal the activeness of the most common accentual tendencies in the Russian spoken language used by two groups of respondents (Russian students of Smolensk State University and Belorussian students from Brest State University). The study revealed that the degree of the use of new accentual variants is different in each of the two groups of respondents. In most cases, the group of the Russian philology faculty student did not choose the wrong accentual variants. In contrast, the group of Russian mathematics students more actively chose the non-normative word stress variants. Belorussian respondents would use the wrong variants more often than the Russian students, which supports the hypothesis of the universality of accent evolution tendencies throughout the regions represented by the speakers who participated in the research.
