On the question of periodization and problems of the development of the Russian literary language
The article is devoted to the important problem of understanding the dominant trends in the development of the Russian literary language in the context of its periodization. The author refers to the history of the formation of the Russian literary language under the influence of the East Slavic and South Slavic language systems, emphasizing their close relationship and positive role in the process of its formation. When considering the problem of periodization of the development of the Russian literary language, the social conditioning of language processes is emphasized, the main trends and negative factors that have influenced the national language at each historical stage are noted. Particular attention is paid to the problems of the development of the modern Russian literary language (Esperantization, depoetization, interdotization of speech), which, from the author’s point of view, are of a spiritual nature and are associated with a general tendency to oust the concepts of the spiritual sphere from public consciousness and, as a result, from the speech of most native speakers (desacralization).In conclusion, the author claims that in the modern language discourse, fiction is losing its normative functions that previously belonged to it, which are now gradually moving into the field of media, primarily electronic(the Internet). The work uses historical-chronological, phenomenological, structural methods of scientific research.
