Notes about the choice of options in the modern newspaper genre from possible in the Russian language
In the “Notes” the author cites the choice of options of a number of Russian words from several issues of the newspaper «Moskovsky Komsomolets» for the summer of 2023: rather frequent usages of dostatochno (≈‘enough’), ochen’ (≈‘very’), dovol’no (≈‘quite’), skhozhest’ (≈‘similarity’), skhozhiy (≈‘similar’), rarer usages of krayne (≈‘extremely’), pokhozhiy (≈‘similar’), podobnyy (≈‘similar’), ochevidno (≈‘obviously’), initial and middle takzhe (≈‘as well’). For even rarer ones vpolne (≈‘quite’), dazhe (≈‘even’), absolyutno (≈‘absolutely’), potryasayushche (≈‘stunning’), the author presents the examples from additionally viewed newspaper issues of 2022 and 2023. The “Notes” present not only examples from the newspaper “Moskovsky Komsomolets”, but also from other newspapers (primarily “Moskovskaya Pravda” and “Argumenty i Facty”), as well as from academic articles and books of linguists of Perm School read by the author recently. Thus, the author draws a conclusion that largely contradicts the usual ideas about the Russian literary language, including even those in the book “Dynamics of Russian Language Norms: A Response to the Challenges of the Time and New Living Conditions” recently published by the Saratov Publishing House concerning the options of the lexeme dostatochno (≈‘enough’). It is shown which of the possible options currently dominate in the Russian language and when the choice is simply the result of a desire for alternation to avoid repetition.
